FAQs
This motor runs on 400 V, 50 Hz with a 4-pole design and uses IMB5 IM3001 mounting, aligning with common ABB drive architectures and industry-standard installation practices. Its D-connection configuration and robust frame size 315 simplify retrofit and new-build integrations, minimizing wiring changes and reducing commissioning time.
IE5 denotes the highest efficiency level for industrial motors, delivering lower copper losses and reduced heat output. In practice this means measurable energy savings, cooler operating temperatures under partial-load conditions (e.g., 50–75%), and improved overall system performance when coupled to variable-speed drives in pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Yes. The motor features Ex ec protection and Gas Group IIC rating, designed for hazardous-area applications. This enables safer operation in chemical, petrochemical, and related facilities where explosive atmospheres may be present, while maintaining reliable performance and compliance with relevant standards.
Key protections include Ex ec explosion protection, IE5 energy efficiency, IP55 protection, IC411 insulation, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting. The combination supports compliance for hazardous zones and general industrial environments, with a robust enclosure and insulation suitable for elevated temperatures and dust exposure.
Maintenance benefits stem from the SynRM design, high efficiency, and robust mechanicals (315 frame, 6319/C3 bearings, IMB5 mounting). Expect lower energy costs, reduced heat load, fewer winding losses, and longer service life, which translates to faster payback in applications with steady or variable loads and long-duty cycles.
