Feature IP55 enclosure provides ingress protection that minimizes dust and moisture ingress, yielding higher uptime and reduced maintenance costs. Business Impact This translates to less unplanned downtime in demanding environments such as conveyors and fans in mining, paper, or metal processing where exposure to dust and water is common. Application The robust enclosure supports reliable operation in harsh environments without compromising performance. Feature IC411 insulation class ensures stable thermal endurance and electrical integrity across typical factory ambient temperatures up to 40 °C with an altitude up to 1000 m. Business Impact Enhanced motor longevity and reduced risk of insulation failure, improving uptime and reducing warranty issues. Application Suitable for high-temperature, moderate-altitude installations in process plants and packaging lines. Feature EX protection with Gas Group IIC enables safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Business Impact Compliance with hazardous-area standards reduces risk of ignition and enables installation in chemical and oil & gas facilities. Application Critical for safe operation in hazardous processing lines and refineries. Feature Cast Iron frame material and 400 frame size deliver rigidity and vibration resistance. Business Impact Longer bearing life and lower maintenance costs in dynamic loads and heavy-driven equipment. Application Fits standard mounting footprints and supports retrofit projects in aging plants. Feature 12-pole design and 3GP IE2 compatibility provide a broad speed range and efficient torque delivery. Business Impact Smooth start-up, improved starting torque, and energy efficiency for pumps, fans, and conveyors. Application Ideal for low-speed, high-torque applications in material handling and process automation. Feature 1 piece per order and 1 pallet packaging simplify procurement and logistics. Business Impact Reduces procurement complexity, speeds project timelines, and lowers total landed costs. Application Helpful for system integrators enforcing lean inventory and fast OEM replacements.

FAQs
Yes. The 400 frame size and 12-pole design align with standard industrial installations, enabling straightforward retrofits or upgrades to existing drive systems. It supports common shaft couplings and mounting patterns, reducing integration time and spare parts variety while maintaining IEC/ISO drive compatibility.
The motor features an IP55 enclosure for dust and moisture protection, IC411 insulation rated for elevated ambient temperatures, and EX explosion protection suitable for hazardous areas. These specs reduce insulation failures, prevent ingress-related downtime, and support compliant operation in process environments.
Yes. With EX protection and Gas Group IIC capability, the motor is designed for hazardous areas. It enables safe operation in chemical plants, oil refineries, and other facilities with explosive atmospheres, aligning with regulatory safety requirements and reducing risk exposure for personnel.
Key certifications include IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation, EX explosion protection, and Gas Group IIC classification. These together assure safety in dusty, humid or potentially explosive environments while supporting regulatory compliance and long-term asset integrity.
The combination of a rugged cast-iron frame, robust insulation, and protected enclosure minimizes unplanned maintenance. Expect longer intervals between service, lower bearing wear due to stable dynamics, and improved uptime across conveyors, pumps, and fans in demanding processes.
