High efficiency and energy savings drive the business impact of this motor. The 132 kW synchronous reluctance design delivers IE5 full-load efficiency, with 96.7% at 100% load, 96.4% at 75% load, and 95.6% at 50% load, reducing energy costs in continuous operation and stabilizing production temperatures for longer bearing life. In real-world plants, these gains translate to measurable reductions in cooling load and utility bills, particularly on long duty cycles, conveyors, and process fans. The Ex ec SynRM with EX protection and IIC gas group provides compliance and safe operation in hazardous areas, supporting deployments in chemical, oil and gas, and metal processing environments. The protective IP55 enclosure further guards against dust and moisture, enabling reliable uptime in harsh plants. Compatibility with 690 V, 50 Hz power, Y connection, and frame size 315 with a 4-pole configuration streamlines installation and maintenance, while IMB5/IM3001 mounting and D-End top terminator box placement simplify retrofits and new builds alike. With Finland origin and a robust build (cast iron frame, IMB5 IM3001), the motor is ready for demanding industrial environments, delivering predictable performance and a lower total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle. Industry-specific context shows these attributes align with energy mandates, safety standards, and maintenance planning across large-scale plants.

FAQs
This motor uses IMB5 IM3001 mounting with a frame size 315 and D-End top terminator box location. Ensure correct alignment with the Y connection configuration, supply 690 V 50 Hz power, and verify ambient temp rating of up to 40 °C. Plan for IP55 protection, adequate ventilation, and compliant cable entries. Matching the mounting kit to the frame and confirming shaft alignment reduces commissioning time and improves reliability.
IE5 efficiency translates to lower losses at full load and partial loads. The motor achieves 96.7% efficiency at 100% load, 96.4% at 75%, and 95.6% at 50% load, reducing electricity costs and heat generation. In long-running processes like pumping or ventilation, this can significantly lower total energy consumption, supporting sustainability goals and improving plant profitability.
Yes. The motor provides EX protection (Exec) and belongs to the IIC gas group, with an IP55 enclosure for dust and moisture resistance. This makes it appropriate for hazardous-area applications such as chemical processing, refining, and oil & gas facilities, where safety-critical equipment must meet stringent protection and compliance requirements.
The motor features a 315 frame size with IMB5 IM3001 mounting and a D-End top terminator box location, enabling straightforward upgrades in existing plants. It uses a Y connection and is designed for 690 V, 50 Hz systems, reducing the need for extensive power system changes. This combination simplifies retrofits and new installations in demanding industrial environments.
With IE5 efficiency, reduced cooling and energy costs lower operating expenses. The robust cast-iron frame, IP55 protection, and Ex-certified design enhance reliability and uptime, potentially reducing maintenance frequency and spare-part needs. While initial capital may be higher, the combination of efficiency, safety, and long life delivers a favorable return on investment over the motor’s lifecycle.
