The motor delivers 160 kW at 690 V and 4 poles, combining SynRM efficiency with robust protection to reduce energy consumption and operating costs in continuous-duty applications such as pumps and compressors. This feature translates to measurable business impact: lower energy bills, improved process stability, and extended equipment life. The Ex ec protection and IP55 enclosure enable safe operation in potentially explosive or dusty environments, while the Gas Group IIC rating supports use in hazardous facilities with compliant installation. The IE5 efficiency class ensures peak performance across full and partial loads, delivering predictable performance and helping meet stringent energy stewardship targets. Frame size 315 with IMB3/IM1001 mounting simplifies integration onto standard bases and control panels, minimizing installation time and risk. The Y connection and 690 V, 50 Hz specification support seamless compatibility with existing electrical infrastructure, while the 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient condition ratings establish a reliable operating envelope. Finally, the motor’s origin in Finland and traceable tariff information support procurement and compliance needs for global projects.
