FAQs
The motor uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a D connection configuration, which simplifies alignment and integration with standard industrial drives. For wiring, a 500 V nominal input at 50 Hz is typical, and connection should follow Ex-rated installation practices for Ex eb protection. This combination supports straightforward retrofits and new installations alike in varied plant layouts.
IE5 efficiency reflects the highest energy performance at full and partial loads, typically reducing losses and heat generation. In continuous-duty processes, this translates to lower electricity bills, cooler motor operation, and extended bearing life due to reduced thermal stress. The 55 kW SynRM design maintains high efficiency across duty cycles (S9), delivering tangible ROI over the motor’s lifecycle.
Yes. The model features Exeb protection suitable for hazardous zones, IP55 enclosure for dust and moisture resistance, and gas-group IIC compatibility, making it suitable for conveyors and material-handling equipment in sectors like food processing, chemical, and metals. Ensure compliance with local ATEX/IECEx requirements and confirm mounting and termination practices meet plant safety standards.
The motor carries Ex eb protection, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation, along with IE5 efficiency. These features address hazardous area compliance, environmental exposure, and high-performance operation. The protective and insulation standards help ensure safe operation in challenging environments, reducing risk of electric shock, ingress, and insulation breakdown while supporting regulatory audits.
Expect extended intervals between maintenance thanks to a robust 6316/C3 bearing, cast-iron frame, and low-loss IE5 design, which together reduce downtime and replacement costs. ROI is driven by energy savings (IE5), reduced maintenance, and improved reliability in critical drives like pumps and conveyors, especially in hazardous-area applications where downtime is costly.
