FAQs
For successful installation, use the 400 frame housing with top-entry termination. Leverage IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility and align with standard drives. Plan for wiring access at the top box location and verify ambient conditions up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m to maintain ratings. Ensure correct rotor alignment and shaft end clearance for conveyors and pumps.
Yes. The IP55 rating provides protection against dust ingress and water jets, making it appropriate for harsh industrial settings such as manufacturing floors and packaging lines. Maintain the rating by ensuring cable glands and enclosure seals remain intact and avoid unauthorized alterations that could compromise enclosure integrity.
IE2 indicates a higher efficiency level than standard designs, contributing to lower energy consumption during full-load and partial-load conditions. For this model, Full Load efficiency is around 95.0% at 50 Hz, with slight variation under partial loads, delivering meaningful energy savings over long operating hours in conveyors, pumps, and fans.
The motor lists EX-Protection: Exec and Gas Group IIC, indicating some level of explosion protection and suitability for specific hazardous environments. Always verify local regulatory approvals and site classifications before deployment and ensure the installation complies with relevant safety standards and control system integration.
Best-suited applications include heavy-duty conveyors, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, and packaging line equipment. The 6-pole design supports moderate speeds ideal for these processes, while the S1 continuous-duty rating ensures reliable operation with consistent torque for long production runs.
