FAQs
For installation, ensure the 400 frame size mounting is compatible with your equipment and that the palletized weight of 3,400 kg net is supported during handling. Verify alignment with standard belt or gear-driven loads, account for a 40 °C ambient limit, and confirm mounting orientation to minimize vibration. Use appropriate cooling and ensure electrical connections match the 3-phase supply and voltage code E.
This is a 3-phase squirrel cage motor designed for S1 continuous duty. It carries a 12-pole configuration and uses voltage code E. Rated IP55 for protection, it operates with IC411 insulation. The motor is suitable for sustained operation in demanding industrial drives, with reliable starting torque and consistent performance under load conditions.
Yes. The motor includes EX protection and gas group IIC classification, making it appropriate for hazardous areas where flammable gases may be present. This compliance helps reduce safety risks, supports regulatory alignment, and enables integration into chemical, petrochemical, and oil & gas processes without additional protective enclosures.
The cast iron frame and robust bearings (6324/C3 and 6319/C3) combined with IP55 and IC411 insulation contribute to lower maintenance needs and longer service life. Expect extended intervals between inspections and reduced warranty issues. The design also supports easier inspection and alignment checks during routine maintenance, helping to lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s lifespan.
The M3GP 400LKC 12 originates from Finland (FI) and carries a Customs Tariff Number of 85015381. It aligns with UNSPSC 26101100 for standardized procurement. Certifications include IP55, IC411 insulation, and EX protection in hazardous environments, making it a fit for global industrial projects with strict regulatory requirements.
