FAQs
This motor uses a 400 frame and a top-mounted terminal box, which simplifies wiring in tight panel spaces. Its cast iron frame enhances rigidity and vibration tolerance, while the 8-pole design provides stable torque for continuous duty. When planning retrofits, verify mounting alignment with existing bases and confirm compatibility with your drive system's interface and enclosure protection level.
IE2 efficiency is indicated as Full Load 93.5% with partial-load performance at 93.8% (75%) and 93.3% (50%). This translates to lower energy consumption for typical industrial loads, reducing electricity bills and heat generation. In continuous-operation environments, the energy savings compound over the motor’s lifecycle, improving total cost of ownership.
Yes, the product specifies EX-Protection with Gas Group IIC, indicating suitability for certain hazardous areas when properly certified for local regulations. Confirm your plant’s exact zoning, electrical installation standards, and the relevant hazardous-area approvals before deployment. Coordination with your safety engineer is recommended to ensure full compliance.
Key specs include IP55 protection, IC411 insulation class, and insulation material ICLF, with a temperature class T3 and altitude up to 1000 m. Frame material is Cast Iron, and the unit operates in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. These specs support reliable operation in dusty, humid, or moderately hot industrial facilities.
Durability stems from a cast-iron frame, robust bearings (6324/C3 and 6319/C3), and a top-terminal box design that reduces maintenance time. Combined with IE2 energy efficiency, operators can expect lower maintenance intervals and meaningful energy savings over the motor’s life. This translates to a faster payback in plants with continuous or high-duty operation.
