FAQs
This 3-phase squirrel cage motor is built around a standard 400 frame with a cast-iron enclosure, designed for mounting on conventional feet or flanges. It is compatible with common VFDs used in industrial drives, enabling smooth speed control, reduced inrush, and energy optimization. Ensure the drive’s output frequency and electrical characteristics match the motor’s voltage code (E) and duty (S1) ratings, and observe ambient and altitude guidelines during installation.
Key ratings include Voltage Code E, IC411 insulation, IP55 protection, Temperature Class T3, and Ex protection (Exec) with Gas Group IIC. It operates under a continuous S1 duty and supports single-speed operation suitable for most standard industrial processes. These specifications support safe operation in dusty, damp, and potentially hazardous environments when installed per local codes.
Yes. The motor features Ex-protection (Exec) and Gas Group IIC, enabling safer use in hazardous locations when installed in accordance with applicable standards and certified enclosures. Always verify project-specific hazard classifications and ensure proper installation practices and protective housings are used.
Ideal for conveyors, pumps, packaging lines, and general machine drives in manufacturing and processing plants. Its 12-pole design provides reliable torque characteristics, while the IE2 efficiency class reduces energy consumption in continuous operations. The rugged cast-iron frame and IP55 rating suit harsh industrial environments.
The motor’s bearings (6324/C3 and 6319/C3) and IM class IMB3 IM1001 support long service life with predictable maintenance cycles. Energy savings from IE2 efficiency, combined with reduced downtime due to reliable construction and protective ratings, contribute to a favorable total cost of ownership and a faster ROI for demanding production lines.
