IE5 efficiency is the featured capability, delivering significant reductions in energy use across full-load and partial-load conditions. This translates to lower energy bills and reduced cooling requirements for continuous-duty drives. The motor is well-suited to long conveyors, pumps, and fans in process lines where energy efficiency directly improves OPEX. Ex ec protection combined with IP55 enclosure provides robust safety in hazardous environments. This reduces the need for costly additional protection and simplifies compliance with safety standards. Suitable for oil, gas, chemical, and mining applications where explosion-protection and enclosure ratings matter. SynRM technology with a cast iron frame delivers high torque density with lower copper losses compared to traditional motor designs. The result is improved torque at low speeds and energy-efficient operation across duty cycles. This is a strong fit for heavy-load conveyors and mixers in demanding facilities. Mechanical design and mounting options streamline installation. With IMB5 IM3001 mounting and a D-End top terminator box, integration is easier in confined spaces and retrofit projects. The 4-pole, 400 V, 50 Hz configuration aligns with common industrial mains, reducing integration risk. Compliance-ready construction with insulation class IC411, IP55, gas group IIC, and a wide operating envelope (up to 40 °C ambient, 1000 m altitude). This helps ensure reliable operation in harsh environments and supports regulatory documentation and safe maintenance. Overall the 45 kW SynRM motor facilitates lifecycle-cost savings through higher efficiency, lower maintenance burden and safe operation in hazardous zones.
