FAQs
The motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting with the terminator box located on top, simplifying wiring and access. For installation, connect three-phase 500 V supply at 50 Hz, verify shaft orientation for both rotation directions, and secure the frame size 400 housing to a compliant base. Ensure ambient conditions stay within 40 °C and altitude under 1000 m. The D connection type aids straightforward wiring, and the top box reduces service time during maintenance windows.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers up to 450 kW with 6 poles, driven at 500 V. IE3 efficiency reflects up to 95.8% full load, with slightly lower values at partial loads (75% and 50%). At 60 Hz, efficiency remains high (similarly around IE3 class) with notable protection features such as IP55 and IC411 insulation. These specs support reliable operation in continuous duty (S1) applications while maintaining energy savings targets.
Yes, this motor is designed for hazardous areas with EX protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC compatibility, making it suitable for explosive atmospheres. It also features IP55 for protection against dust and water ingress and an IC411 insulation class for endurance in demanding conditions. Together, these certifications help meet stringent industry standards for mining, chemical plants, and other high-risk facilities.
Industrial mining, cement processing, and chemical handling benefit from the 450 kW output, 6-pole design, and IP55 protection, delivering reliable uptime in tough environments. The IE3 efficiency enables meaningful energy savings across long-running processes, reducing utility costs over the motor’s life. When combined with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and easy top-box access, maintenance costs also decrease, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership.
Confirm the 500 V input with a 50 Hz supply and use the D connection configuration for wiring. The motor is a three-phase squirrel cage design with a frame 400 housing and top-mounted terminator box, enabling straightforward integration with standard industrial drives. Ensure protective protections (IP55, EX Exec) and operating conditions (40 °C ambient, 1000 m altitude) align with your facility’s electrical and safety requirements.
