FAQs
This motor operates at 400 V, 50 Hz with a 4-pole configuration and is designed for D- connection. It uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a Frame Size 315, which simplifies alignment with common drive systems and reduces bespoke hardware needs. Ensure enclosure integrity with IP55, and follow standard grounding, shielded cabling, and proper torque for mounting bolts to maximize reliability.
The motor includes Ex ec explosion protection and is rated for Gas Group IIC, enabling safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. Coupled with IP55 protection and a robust cast-iron frame, it maintains performance in challenging environments while meeting IEC/NEC standards for hazardous-area equipment.
IE5 efficiency indicates near-maximum motor efficiency across full and partial loads, contributing to lower energy consumption in continuous or variable-duty applications. For high-duty drives like conveyors or pumps, the resulting energy savings can shorten payback periods and reduce operational spend over the motor’s life.
Heavy-duty drives in packaging, plastics, metal processing, and pumping systems are prime candidates. The motor’s Ex ec protection, IP55 enclosure, and SynRM efficiency support long runtimes in dusty, high-temperature, or potentially explosive environments while delivering reliable torque and predictable control with standard drive interfaces.
The 315 frame with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and standard 400 V, 50 Hz operation minimizes retrofit complexity and spare-parts diversity. Cast-iron construction and bearing specifications support longer service intervals, while IP55 and Ex ec protection reduce environmental wear, delivering lower maintenance costs and higher asset availability.
