FAQs
For IMB3 mounting, verify frame size 315 and four-pole configuration to ensure proper alignment with IMB3/IM1001 standards. The terminator box location is D-End top, and the bearing setup is 6319/C3 with NDE bearing 6316/C3VL0241. Ensure IP55 enclosure and Exeb protection are integrated into the plant’s hazardous-area layout and certified cables and connectors are used.
Key specs include 160 kW output, 4 poles, 500 V input, 50 Hz operation, and IP55/IP-rated enclosure. It features IE5 efficiency, Ex eb explosion protection, and IC411 insulation. The motor supports S9 duty with IMB3/IM1001 mounting, making it suitable for continuous heavy-duty applications in hazardous environments.
Yes. The motor is Exeb (Ex explosion protection) and rated for IIC gas group environments, with an IP55 enclosure and IC LF insulation class. These features, combined with IE5 efficiency, make it appropriate for hazardous-area drives in chemical, oil & gas, and mining settings while maintaining high reliability.
Key certifications include Exeb hazard protection for explosive atmospheres, IP55 ingress protection, and IE5 energy efficiency. The motor is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting, with frame 315 and 4-pole configuration. It also features IC411 insulation and is intended for 50 Hz operation, aligning with common European industrial standards.
IE5 efficiency reduces energy consumption significantly under full-load and partial-load conditions, lowering operating costs over the motor’s life. Combined with reduced downtime from robust Ex eb protection and IP55 enclosure, the total cost of ownership improves through energy savings, longer maintenance intervals, and improved system reliability in hazardous environments.
