FAQs
The motor uses a D-End top terminal box location, standard on IMB5 IM3001 mounting. This arrangement simplifies field wiring, minimizes cable runs, and supports straightforward alignment with existing switchgear and controller interfaces. Ensure terminal connections follow the manufacturer’s torque specs and secure cable glands to maintain IP55 integrity in harsh environments.
At 50 Hz, the motor achieves IE4 efficiency with full-load efficiency around 96.6% (as per IE Class Data 50 Hz). In partial-load conditions (75% and 50%), efficiency remains high (≈96.5%–96.7%), contributing to meaningful energy savings across variable-speed or constant-torque applications, and reducing total energy consumption over the motor’s lifecycle.
Yes. This motor is designed for hazardous areas with EX protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC compatibility. It carries an IP55 enclosure for robust dust and water ingress protection, enabling safe operation in process plants, refineries, and chemical facilities while meeting stringent regulatory requirements.
The motor features a Cast Iron frame size 315, pairable with IMB5 IM3001 mounting. It also supports a 4-pole, 160 kW configuration compatible with 400 V, 50 Hz systems. This ensures reliable mechanical coupling, straightforward alignment with standard bases, and compatibility with common ABB and OEM drive systems.
Bearings are specified as 6319/C3 and 6316/C3 NDE, contributing to long bearing life and reduced downtime. The high IE4 efficiency reduces energy costs, offering a favorable payback period in continuous or high-duty applications. Routine checks of bearing condition, insulation integrity, and IP55 seals will sustain performance and extend service life.
