IE5 efficiency combined with Ex ec protection reduces electrical losses and hazard risk, delivering measurable energy savings and safer startup sequences for critical processes such as pumps and conveyors in chemical processing and metals manufacturing. The 690 V, 50 Hz, 4-pole design supports direct integration with standard VFDs and electrical networks, minimizing wiring changes and commissioning time. Cast-iron frame and IP55 enclosure provide rugged durability in dusty or moist environments, lowering downtime and maintenance costs while extending service life. IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a 315 frame size simplify retrofit projects and OEM integrations, enabling straightforward installation in existing equipment trains. The motor’s gas grouping IIC and Ex protection ensure compliance in hazardous zones, enabling safer operation in oil, gas, and chemical facilities. This combination enhances overall equipment effectiveness and long-term return on investment for industrial automation programs.

FAQs
For a proper retrofit, wire the motor for a Y connection as specified, plan for 690 V basic input with 50 Hz operation, and confirm frame size 315 with IMB3/IM1001 mounting. Consider ambient temperature up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. Ensure D-End top terminator box location and IP55 enclosure are compatible with existing consoles and starter configurations.
IE5 efficiency yields lower electrical losses at full load and part-load conditions, with verified values of 97.0% full load at 50 Hz and slightly lower at reduced loads. The 250 kW rating at 690 V and 4 poles aligns with demanding drive cycles, delivering noticeable energy savings in continuous-duty applications such as pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Yes. The motor features Ex protection (Exec) and gas group IIC classification, enabling operation in hazardous zones with appropriate controls. Combined with IP55 for ingress protection and IC411 insulation, this supports safer operation in chemical, oil, and gas facilities while maintaining performance under elevated temperature and dust conditions.
The 315 frame size with cast-iron enclosure and IMB3/IM1001 mounting provides robust, industry-standard compatibility, reducing the need for structural changes. The D-End top terminator box and 315 frame also simplify enclosure integration, while the Y-connected 690 V configuration minimizes wiring adaptations and soft-start sequencing, accelerating commissioning and minimizing equipment downtime during upgrades.
The IE5 efficiency class reduces energy consumption across load profiles, lowering operating costs and cooling requirements. The Ex ec protection and IP55 rating improve reliability in harsh environments, reducing maintenance intensity and unplanned downtime. Over the motor’s life, these factors translate to lower total cost of ownership, especially in high-demand process industries and hazardous-area applications.
