FAQs
For compatibility, verify mounting aligns with a 400 frame and cast-iron housing, and plan for the top-entry terminator box for easy wiring. Consider IM Class IMB5 IM3001 and bearing types 6324/C3 and 6319/C3 to ensure proper alignment and cooling. Ensure space for service access and check ambient temperature and altitude limits meet operating conditions.
The motor is rated IE2 with a full-load efficiency around 93.5% and partial-load efficiency near 93.8% at 75% load, which translates to measurable energy savings across typical duty cycles. Combined with a cast-iron frame and robust construction, it maintains performance while reducing operating costs in conveyors, pumps, and fans.
Yes, it includes EX protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC ratings, designed for use with certified equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres. Ensure installation complies with local electrical codes and that the motor is integrated into an overall certified system appropriate for the specific hazardous zone.
8-pole motors at S1 duty are well-suited for low-speed, high-torque applications such as heavy conveyors, large pumps, and industrial fans where reliability and long life are critical. The IP55 enclosure provides protection against dust and moisture, enabling dependable operation on manufacturing floors and outdoor facilities.
Plan periodic bearing inspections for 6324/C3 and 6319/C3, monitor V-belt or couplings, and verify cooling during operation in 40 °C ambient conditions. Ensure compliance with IP55, IC411 insulation, and IE2 efficiency targets, and confirm that any hazardous-area integration follows applicable explosion-protection standards.
