FAQs
Ensure a 500 V, 50 Hz supply and verify a Y-connection configuration. Plan for IP55 protection and Exeb compliance, with mounting on IMB3/IM1001 supports. Allow space for a 884 mm length and 626 × 508 mm footprint, and align the direction of rotation with system wiring. Follow hazardous-area installation guidelines and local ATEX/IECEx requirements for safe commissioning.
IE5 denotes top-tier efficiency across load ranges, with reported full-load efficiency around 96.4%. This reduces electrical energy consumption, decreases heat generation, and lowers cooling and maintenance needs. In continuous-duty and partial-load scenarios common in conveyors and pumps, the cumulative savings improve overall plant productivity and reduce lifecycle costs.
Yes. The 3GHL252237-AFC features Exeb explosion protection and an IP55 enclosure, with Gas Group IIC protection, suitable for hazardous areas. Compliance relies on correct installation per ATEX/IECEx directives, proper grounding, and enclosure integrity during operation and maintenance.
This 90 kW, 4-pole SynRM motor is well-suited for heavy-duty drives such as conveyors, pumps, compressors, and fans in manufacturing and process industries. Its 500 V, 50 Hz operation, coupled with IMB3/IM1001 mounting, enables reliable integration into existing drive trains and new installations in plants with elevated safety and energy-efficiency goals.
The motor's rugged cast-iron frame and optimized bearing configuration (6315/C3, 6213/C3) support long service intervals and reduced downtime. Energy savings from IE5 efficiency contribute to a favorable ROI, especially in plants with high duty cycles and stringent sustainability targets. Expect lower cooling load, fewer maintenance events, and a simpler procurement path due to standardized components.
