FAQs
For a successful install, ensure a 500 V, 50 Hz supply with a Y configuration, proper terminal box connections, and correct cable sizing. Confirm IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and place the unit in an IP55-rated indoor/outdoor location as required. Use appropriate safety interlocks and verify a clean, level mounting surface to minimize vibration and bearing wear.
IE5 efficiency translates to lower energy consumption under full and partial loads. With Full Load efficiency around 96.5%, operators can expect meaningful reductions in electrical bills over the motor’s life, especially in continuous-duty applications like pumps and fans. Combined with reduced cooling needs, this supports a faster return on investment and lower total cost of ownership.
Yes. The 3GGL252223-BFC features Ex ec protection and Gas Group IIC, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation, making it suitable for many hazardous-area environments. It is designed for ATEX/IECEx compliance, enabling safer operation in process industries while maintaining performance and reliability under demanding conditions.
Key certifications include IE5 efficiency, Ex ec explosion protection, IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, and Gas Group IIC suitability.
