IE3 efficiency translates to substantial energy savings; full-load efficiency reaches around 95.8%, helping reduce operating costs over long-running drives such as conveyors and pumps. IP55 enclosure and a cast iron frame defend against dust and moisture, extending service intervals and lowering maintenance. EX protection with Gas Group IIC support enables safe operation in hazardous zones while maintaining performance, supporting compliance and risk mitigation in chemical and mining sites. IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a top terminator box simplify installation and service access, reducing commissioning time and downtime. The 450 mm frame, two-pole design, and 400 V 50 Hz supply deliver robust, reliable power for heavy-duty drives in cement, mills, and material-handling systems. Ambient tolerance up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m ensures consistent performance in challenging environments.
