FAQs
For safe operation in Ex-rated zones, install the motor with Exeb protection and IP55 enclosure. Use the IMB5/IM3001 mounting arrangement suitable for frame size 315, ensure proper cable entries, and follow NEC/IEC guidelines for 690 V systems. Verify cooling and ventilation to maintain ambient limits (up to 40 °C) and confirm a Y connection with appropriate VFD compatibility.
IE5 indicates top-tier efficiency for constant-load and part-load conditions, driven by SynRM technology that minimizes rotor copper losses and enhances torque ripple suppression. In 50 Hz operation at 690 V, it delivers 160 kW with 97% full-load efficiency and robust performance under S9 duty, supporting energy savings over the motor life.
Yes. The motor is configured for 690 V, 50 Hz operation with a Y connection, enabling straightforward integration with common industrial VFDs. Its IP55/IC411 insulation supports reliable drive control, while the IMB5/IM3001 mounting facilitates quick coupling to standard drives and mechanical interfaces on conveyors and pumps.
The motor features Exeb protection for hazardous environments, IP55 enclosure, and IE5 efficiency. Insulation is rated IC411, with IC classification suitable for elevated ambient temperatures (up to 40 °C). Origin is Finland, tariff code 85015381, and it aligns with global energy and safety standards for industrial motors.
The 160 kW SynRM motor reduces energy costs due to IE5 efficiency, lowering operating expenses in continuous-duty installations. With a robust 315 frame, IMB5/IM3001 mounting, and long bearing life (6319/C3), maintenance intervals are extended, improving uptime. The Exeb protection also reduces risk-related downtime in hazardous environments, contributing to faster project payback times.
