FAQs
This motor uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a 250 frame size and D-End top termination. Plan for a Y-configured 400 V, 50 Hz drive, ensure IP55 protection, and verify ambient conditions up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. Confirm bearing and shaft alignment with 6315/C3 and 6213/C3 specs to minimize vibration and maximize service life.
IE5 efficiency reduces input power for the same output, lowering energy costs by several percent at full and partial loads. Ex protection (Exec) enables safe operation in hazardous zones (Gas Group IIC), while IP55 and IC411 insulation support reliable performance in tough environments, enhancing uptime and overall drive effectiveness in industrial settings.
Ideal for process and manufacturing lines requiring high efficiency and hazardous-area compliance, including chemical, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and food & beverage processing. The 55 kW output, 4-pole design, and 400 V 50 Hz supply make it a strong fit for pumps, fans, and conveyors that demand durable performance with safe, energy-conscious operation.
Key standards include IE5 efficiency, IP55 protection, IC411 insulation class, Ex protection (Exec) for hazardous areas, and Gas Group IIC suitability. The unit also carries WEEE categorization and supports sustainability documentation like EPD, aligning with regulatory and corporate environmental commitments.
The motor’s synchronous reluctance design minimizes rotor windings wear, contributing to lower maintenance needs. Combined with IE5 efficiency, operators typically see reduced energy bills and cooler operation, which translates to longer bearing life and lower total cost of ownership. The robust cast iron frame and mounting also support longer service intervals in demanding plants.
