Energy efficiency is a core feature of the 3GGP404820-AEK, delivering 355 kW at 500 V with IE3 efficiency under full load. The business impact is lower energy bills and reduced heat load, improving plant cooling requirements and operating margins. In mining, cement, and other heavy industries, this efficiency translates into tangible energy performance improvements without sacrificing torque or responsiveness. Durable IP55 protection and dust-ignition proof design protect critical components in dusty environments. With EX protection and Gas Group IIC classification, operators gain safer operation zones and reduced risk of ignition incidents, enabling compliance with industry safety standards while preserving uptime in cement, chemical, and mining facilities. Cast iron frame 400 and eight poles provide a rugged platform for IMB3/IM1001 mounting. Bearings 6324/C3 and 6319/C3 extend service intervals and dampen vibration, improving bearing life in high‑vibration environments. The top terminator box location simplifies wiring and maintenance in cramped plant rooms. Simplified installation with D‑connection, top terminator box, and standard base compatibility enables faster commissioning and fewer wiring errors, lowering installed costs. The motor’s wide operating envelope—50 Hz, 40 °C ambient, up to 1000 m altitude—coupled with ICLF insulation and IC411 protection supports reliable performance across varied sites and seasons. Reversible direction and durable bearings (6324/C3, 6319/C3) enable flexible drive configurations for conveyors and pumps, reducing spare parts inventory and downtime.

FAQs
For IMB3/IM1001 mounting, install on a rigid concrete base with properly aligned alignment marks. Use the top terminator box for field wiring access and ensure cable entries follow the D‑connection configuration. Verify correct shaft alignment, mounting bolts torque, and bearing envelopes to minimize vibrations during initial startup and commissioning.
This is a 3‑phase motor rated for 50 Hz operation with an input of 500 V. It delivers 355 kW at full load, features 8 poles for a robust torque profile, and has IP55 protection. The insulation class is IC LF (ICLF), with a D connection configuration and a direct drive suitability for standard industrial drives.
Yes. The motor is designed as a dust‑ignition proof unit with IP55 enclosure and EX protection, supporting safe operation in dusty environments. Its Gas Group IIC classification and robust enclosure enable safer installation in cement, mining, and chemical processing plants where ignition risk is a concern.
Key specifications include IE3 efficiency for energy compliance, IP55 enclosure protection for dust and moisture resistance, IC411 insulation, IMB3/IM1001 mounting, and a cast iron frame. The unit is designed for S1 duty at 50 Hz with a standard 400 frame size and 8 poles, suitable for broad industrial use.
Expected maintenance intervals are extended by robust bearings (6324/C3 and 6319/C3) and a rugged cast‑iron frame, reducing downtime. The high IE3 efficiency lowers energy costs over the motor’s life, improving total cost of ownership. The mounting versatility and simplified wiring further decrease field labor and commissioning time.
