FAQs
Retrofitting requires a suitable VFD with vector control for synchronous reluctance motors, ensure 500 V nominal supply and 50 Hz operation, and connect in Y configuration as specified. The motor uses a Cast Iron frame size 250 with IMB5/IM3001 mounting and IP55 enclosure, so provide adequate enclosure protection, space for coupling, and proper alignment to bearings 6315/C3 and 6213/C3 for reliable operation.
IE5 efficiency correlates to lower losses across load points. For this model, full load efficiency is 96.9%, with 75% load at 96.0% and 50% load at 95.2%. In practical terms, this translates to meaningful energy savings and reduced cooling requirements, improving total cost of ownership in continuous-duty applications like pumps and conveyors.
Yes. The motor features Ex eb protection for hazardous areas (gas IIC) and an IP55 enclosure, enabling safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. It also carries classifications such as IC411 insulation and 4-pole, 55 kW, with IMB5/IM3001 mounting, supporting rugged industrial environments.
Maintenance should focus on bearing health (6315/C3 and 6213/C3), coupling alignment, and enclosure integrity. The IP55 rating protects against dust and moisture, but periodic inspection of seals, mounting hardware, and temperature class (T3) is advised. The robust cast-iron frame supports long service life in demanding lines with reduced downtime.
ROI is driven by energy savings from IE5 efficiency, lower cooling and fan load, and improved uptime due to rugged Ex eb protection and IP55 housing. With a robust 4-pole design and reliable IMB5 mounting, the motor reduces maintenance costs and extends mean time between failures on continuous-duty conveyors, delivering faster payback in harsh manufacturing environments.
