IE5 efficiency translates into significant energy savings for continuous-duty applications such as conveyors and pumps, improving total cost of ownership while reducing heat generation and cooling load. In practice, the motor delivers low power losses across full and partial-load conditions, with efficiency figures around 97% at full load and near-constant performance at 75% and 50% loads, enabling reliable, cost-effective operation in automation lines. The Ex protection (Exec) and IP55 enclosure provide safe operation in hazardous zones and dusty environments, reducing enclosure proliferation and simplifying compliance for installations in chemical and oil-and-gas sectors. The robust 315 frame, cast-iron construction, and IMB5/IM3001 mounting support long service life and straightforward retrofits on existing equipment, minimizing downtime during maintenance cycles. With 380 V 50 Hz input and a 4-pole design, this motor integrates smoothly with standard industrial drives and control architectures, delivering high torque at low speed while preserving system efficiency. Overall, the SynRM approach offers reduced wear and maintenance costs, aligning with industry-specific reliability targets.

FAQs
Plan for a 3-phase 380 V supply at 50 Hz using a D-connection; the unit uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a D-End top termination box to simplify wiring. Ensure ambient conditions up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m, and verify the enclosure integrity (IP55) in dusty environments. Align with control cabinets and VFDs designed for IE5 SynRM motors.
Expect high efficiency with IE5 ratings achieving up to 97% at full load and strong performance across partial loads (75% and 50%). Ex protection (Exec) supports safe operation in hazardous zones, while IP55 enclosure guards against dust ingress. This combination reduces cooling needs, lowers energy costs, and supports compliant operation in chemical and oil-and-gas applications.
Yes. The IP55 enclosure and robust cast-iron frame are designed for dusty, industrial settings. The 4-pole, 160 kW motor can provide reliable torque for conveyors and similar line equipment, while Ex protection adds a safety margin for potential hazardous areas. Installation with IMB5/IM3001 mounting further facilitates rugged conveyor system integration.
Key certifications include IE5 efficiency, IP55 enclosure, and Ex protection (Exec) for hazardous zones, supported by IC411 insulation and IMB5 IM3001 mounting. The motor is built for 380 V operation and has a Gas Group IIC rating, with origin from Finland (FI), ensuring quality and regulatory alignment for certified industrial deployments.
Energy savings from IE5 efficiency reduce operating costs over the motor’s life, while the durable cast-iron frame and robust mounting minimize downtime and maintenance needs. The Ex protection and IP55 enclosure shield equipment in harsh environments, contributing to longer service intervals and a lower total cost of ownership in automated production lines.
