IE3 efficiency and high output in a 560 kW drive reduce energy costs in continuous duty applications, delivering measurable savings over the lifecycle of the plant. The motor’s insulation and build quality support sustained performance in high-temperature environments up to 40 °C, while the IP55 enclosure minimizes dust and moisture ingress, lowering maintenance frequency and risk of unexpected downtime. EX protection with Gas Group IIC ensures compliance in hazardous areas, enabling safe operation in chemical plants and refineries and reducing the need for redundant protective measures. The 8-pole design provides a robust, stable speed profile for heavy loads, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting offers flexible installation on standard foundations. With 500 V, 50 Hz electrical supply and D connection, installation is straightforward for new builds or retrofits. Reliability is further enhanced by durable cast-iron framing and proven bearing arrangements (6326/C3 / 6322/C3), contributing to long service life and lower maintenance costs in demanding environments. This motor also supports predictable performance in legacy systems while easing integration with modern motor starters and variable-frequency drives, enabling smoother commissioning and reduced project risk.

FAQs
This motor is designed for IMB3 mounting (IMB3/IM1001) and a D connection configuration, making it compatible with common industry frames and base plates used in heavy industry. The 8-pole, 450 frame size fits standard belts and couplings, while the 500 V, 50 Hz supply aligns with typical plant electrical distributions. For retrofits, verify shaft alignment and foundation integrity, and ensure starter hardware supports IE3 efficiency class.
IE3 efficiency class indicates higher energy efficiency than older designs. For this model, data shows IE3 performance with Full Load efficiency around 94.6% at 50 Hz, and similar values at 75% and 50% loads (94.6% and 93.8% respectively). These figures translate into meaningful energy savings during steady-state operation and reduced operating costs over the motor’s life.
Yes. The motor features EX protection with Gas Group IIC and an IP55 enclosure, making it appropriate for hazardous areas such as chemical plants and refineries where explosive gas atmospheres may be present. The combination of flameproof-like protection and dust ingress resistance supports safer operation and regulatory compliance in demanding plants.
The IE3 efficiency rating reduces energy consumption, lowering operating costs over time. The IP55 enclosure and rugged bearings (6326/C3, 6322/C3) extend service intervals and resist dust and moisture, lowering maintenance frequency. In practice, this translates to higher uptime, fewer unplanned outages, and a faster return on investment when replacing older NEMA/IE2-class motors in continuous-duty processes.
Key considerations include ensuring adequate cooling and ambient conditions (up to 40 °C), confirming alignment with IMB3 mounting provisions, and verifying that the 500 V supply and 50 Hz frequency are available at the site. Check the protective class (IP55) and EN/IEC compliance, plan for correct wiring (D connection), and coordinate with existing VFDs or soft starters to maintain proper starting current and efficiency during commissioning.
