FAQs
This motor uses a 315 frame with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a D connection. Installers should plan for 400 V, 50 Hz operation, ambient up to 40 °C, and IP55 protection. Ensure adequate clearance for cooling, verify shaft alignment with compatible couplings, and confirm the terminator box location at D-End top for service accessibility.
The 3GGP312830-BDM carries Ex ec protection and a Gas Group IIC rating, making it appropriate for hazardous zones. Combined with IE4 efficiency and an IP55 enclosure, it delivers safe operation in explosive atmospheres while maintaining high reliability and reduced risk during maintenance and process startups.
At 50 Hz, the motor provides 250 kW output with a 4-pole design and frame 315. IE4 efficiency is demonstrated by full-load around 96.7% and near-identical performance at 75% and 50% loads. The 60 Hz variant maintains IE4 performance with slightly different efficiency curves suitable for variable-frequency drives.
Yes. The product is rated for S1 duty, indicating continuous operation. Its robust cast-iron frame, bearing configuration, and IC411 insulation support long, maintenance-friendly runs in pumps, conveyors, and fans, even under sustained loads typical of process industries.
Energy savings from IE4 efficiency reduce operating costs over the motor’s life. The rugged cast-iron frame, IP55 protection, and Ex ec readiness minimize maintenance and downtime in hazardous environments, improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and lowering total cost of ownership for long-term assets.
