IE5 efficiency and SynRM technology deliver measurable energy savings and lower operating costs, especially on continuous-duty processes where every kilowatt matters. This design reduces CO2 footprint while maintaining high torque and stable speed under varying loads, supporting better process control and reduced utility bills. The Ex ec protection and IP55 enclosure provide safe operation in hazardous environments, enabling installation in chemical plants, oil and gas, and mining applications without compromising protection. The 400 V, 50 Hz supply compatibility and 160 kW output at 4 poles deliver reliable torque performance for standard industrial drives and conveyor systems, with straightforward integration into existing electrical infrastructure. IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a robust cast-iron frame simplify installation, maintenance, and long-term reliability, reducing downtime and service costs. By meeting stringent insulation and duty standards, the motor supports regulatory compliance and predictable life-cycle costs in procurement and maintenance budgeting. This solution aligns with sustainability programs (EcoSolutions) and environmental declarations, helping customers meet procurement requirements for green automation.

FAQs
The motor operates at 400 V, 50 Hz with a D connection configuration and 4-pole design. Use the IMB5/IM3001 mounting provisions and the frame size 315 casting for secure installation. Check that the terminator box is located at D-End top and that the ambient temperature does not exceed 40 °C. Ensure adequate clearance for service access and cooling in an IP55 enclosure.
Expect high efficiency at full load with IE5 performance data showing 97.1% efficiency at 100% load, and strong partial-load efficiency around 96%. The 160 kW output, 4 poles, and 400 V operation provide robust torque for continuous process drives, while the Ex ec protection ensures safe operation in hazardous zones. This combination supports reduced energy cost and improved drive life.
Yes. The Ex ec explosion protection, IP55 enclosure, and Gas Group IIC rating enable safe operation in hazardous environments found in chemical plants and mining. The motor’s robust cast-iron frame (315) and IMB5/IM3001 mounting offer reliable mechanical compatibility with standard industrial equipment, while 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient limits are considered in the design for rugged field conditions.
Key compliance features include IP55 ingress protection, IE5 energy efficiency, and Ex ec explosion protection for hazardous areas, as well as an insulation class of ICLF and IC411 electrical class. The product is designed for reliable operation under S9 duty and 4-pole performance, with standard 400 V electrical configuration and 50 Hz frequency. These attributes support enterprise compliance and green procurement goals.
