IE5 efficiency and Ex eb increased safety protection translate to meaningful energy savings and safer operation in hazardous environments, particularly for continuous-duty pumps, fans, and conveyors. The IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation ensure reliable performance amid dust, moisture, and temperature variations, reducing unplanned downtime and safeguarding critical processes. The 690 V, 50 Hz, four-pole configuration simplifies integration into existing plant power systems while delivering strong starting torque and smooth speed control for S9 duty cycles. IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and a D-End top termination box streamline installation, cabling, and service access, shrinking commissioning time and enabling easier maintenance. The 315 frame, 925 kg net weight, and cast-iron construction provide rugged durability for harsh factory floors and outdoor sections. Ex protection aligned with IIC gas-group readiness supports regulatory compliance when installed with appropriate enclosures and safety systems. This SynRM option also complements energy-management and sustainability initiatives, helping lower lifecycle costs and extend line uptime.

FAQs
The motor supports IMB5 IM3001 mounting and a D-End top terminator box for accessible cabling. It uses a Y (star) connection configuration and is designed for 690 V, 50 Hz power with four poles. This combination minimizes wiring complexity, aligns with common plant conventions, and reduces commissioning time on new or upgraded lines.
IE5 efficiency delivers superior energy performance across full and partial loads, lowering running costs and heat generation. Ex eb increased-safety protection enables safe operation in hazardous locations, allowing sustained performance in zone 1IC/IIC environments when installed with compliant enclosures and safety systems.
Yes. The Ex eb protection, IIC gas-group readiness, IP55 enclosure, and IE5 efficiency make the 3GHL312222-BUC well-suited for hazardous-area pumping in chemical and oil/gas applications, provided the installation follows local regulations and uses appropriate seals, enclosures, and explosion-protected accessories.
The IP55 rating, IC411 insulation class, Ex eb protection, and IE5 efficiency collectively support compliance for industrial deployments in dusty or damp spaces. Ensure installation conforms to regional hazardous-area codes and uses certified components for Ex protection to maintain regulatory clearance.
SynRM design reduces copper losses and simplifies cooling compared with induction motors, contributing to lower energy costs. The robust cast-iron frame and IMB5/IM3001 mounting support long intervals between maintenance, while hazardous-area protections minimize shutdowns. Overall, expect lower total cost of ownership through energy savings, uptime gains, and simpler service routines.
