FAQs
This motor uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting and is designed for 690 V, 50 Hz operation with a Y connection. Its frame size 250 and cast iron construction simplify retrofits and new builds, while the 4-pole design supports predictable torque and smooth startup. Ensure your enclosure and drive panel accommodate IP55 protection and space for the 884 mm depth package.
Key specs include 37 kW output, 690 V input, 50 Hz frequency, 4 poles, and a Y connection configuration. It operates at IC411 insulation class with an IE class IE5 efficiency rating, and it is rated Ex eb for hazardous areas. The motor also supports IP55 enclosure and an ambient temperature rating up to 40 °C.
Yes. The 3GHL252212-AUC features Ex eb protection and a gas group rating of IIC, making it suitable for hazardous locations. Its IP55 enclosure and compliance with IC411 insulation further enhance safe operation in challenging environments such as chemical plants and mining operations.
IE5 efficiency reduces copper and iron losses, lowering energy consumption and heat generation. Over time this improves overall drive efficiency, reduces cooling requirements, and can shorten payback periods for energy retrofit projects, especially in continuous-run processes and high-duty applications like conveyors, rotary kilns, and pumps.
