Feature → Business Impact → Application: Energy-efficient IE5 performance reduces full-load energy consumption by up to several percentage points across duty cycles, lowering operating costs for continuous 50 Hz production lines and reducing CO2 footprint in process plants. Application: 3Phase synchronous reluctance motors are well-suited for constant-speed drives in conveyors and pumps where energy budgets are tight. Feature → Compatibility and installation → The Y connection, 690 V input, and IP55 enclosure simplify integration with standard industrial drives, enabling straightforward retrofit into existing automation architectures. Application: Upgrade projects in mining and cement plants benefit from easier wiring, safer installations, and improved protective coordination. Feature → Ex protection and safety → Exeb protection and IIC gas group certification mitigate ignition risk in hazardous zones, enabling compliant operation in ATEX/IECEx environments. Application: Chem/petrochemical processing lines and loading bays where safety is paramount. Feature → Mechanical robustness → Cast Iron frame and IMB5/IM3001 mounting ensure vibration resistance and long service life under S9 duty. Application: Heavy-duty rotating equipment in grueling environments, including mills and crushers. Feature → Design and reliability → 4-pole, IC411 insulation, IP55, and durable bearings (6313/C3, 6212/C3) support sustained performance and reduced maintenance intervals. Application: Continuous operation in remote plants where uptime is critical and maintenance windows are limited.

FAQs
This motor uses a 690 V input with a Y configuration and is designed for standard industrial drive systems. Mounting supports IMB5/IM3001 conventions, 4-pole operation, and a frame size of 225. Consider confirming localization of cable entries, ensuring protective earth continuity, and aligning with existing safety and motor protection schemes to optimize startup behavior and thermal performance.
IE5 efficiency minimizes energy draw across full and partial loads, reducing operating costs during continuous operation and variable-speed drives. Exeb protection enhances safety in hazardous areas by limiting explosion risks, enabling compliant startup sequences and safer maintenance. Together they improve uptime, reduce maintenance frequency, and support long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The motor is rated for hazardous zones with Exeb protection, IP55 enclosure, and IIC gas group compatibility, making it suitable for conveyors, pumps, and heavy-duty handling in mining and chemical settings. Its IE5 efficiency and robust mounting support steady torque and reliable operation under S9 duty, aligning with rigorous process requirements and uptime targets.
The motor provides Exeb protection for hazardous areas, IP55 rating, and IE5 energy efficiency with a 50 Hz, 690 V specification. It features cast iron frame construction and ICFL insulation, along with appropriate mounting and alignment for IMB5/IM3001; gas group IIC compatibility supports compliance in chemical and petrochemical environments, aiding regulatory approvals and safe operation.
Key maintenance considerations include bearing life (6313/C3, 6212/C3) and robust IM class design (IMB5 IM3001) that reduce vibration and wear. With IP55 protection and Exeb approvals, routine inspections focus on seals and electrical connections rather than frequent internal repairs. The motor's energy efficiency, durable frame, and available EPD support lower lifecycle costs and improve return on investment in long-running automation sites.
