High efficiency is the core feature of this motor, delivering IE3-class performance at 355 kW. The business impact is clear: lower energy consumption, reduced operating costs, and a smaller carbon footprint for continuous-process drives. It is ideal for long-running conveyors, pumps, and fans in demanding facilities. Dust-ignition-proof design and EX protection raise safety in hazardous areas. The IP55 enclosure and IIC gas-group rating help you meet industry standards while maintaining uptime, even in humid or dusty environments. This supports chemical plants, refineries, and mining operations where explosions must be mitigated. Rugged mechanicals underpin reliability. Cast iron frame, large bearings (6324/C3, 6319/C3), and IMB3/IM1001 mounting ensure resilience against shock, vibration, and thermal cycling. The top terminator box simplifies wiring and service, saving installation time and reducing field-wiring errors. Installation and integration are streamlined by standard frame size 400 and 8-pole design. The 500 V, 50 Hz supply aligns with common industrial power systems, while the D connection configuration and 40 °C ambient tolerance allow deployment across many sites up to 1000 m altitude. This reduces design risk and accelerates project timelines. Operational data and compliance are straightforward: insulation class ICFL and operating duty S1 support continuous service in aggressive environments. Finland-made quality and IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility provide confidence in long-term maintenance planning and serviceability, helping plants achieve predictable total cost of ownership.
