Ex protection and IP55 enclosure provide safe, compliant operation in hazardous environments, enabling installation in chemical processing, mining, and heavy machinery applications with minimized risk and downtime. The Exeb protection paired with an IP55 rating directly translates to lower safeguarding costs and extended equipment life in challenging atmospheres. IE5 efficiency delivers measurable energy savings at 50 Hz operation, reducing lifecycle costs and cooling requirements, which is crucial for continuous-duty drives and cost-conscious facilities. The synchronous reluctance motor design reduces torque ripple and frequency-dependent losses, delivering improved control, smoother starts, and longer bearing life, translating to less maintenance and fewer unplanned outages in packaging or material handling. Compatibility with IMB5/IM3001 mounting options simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, while the Y-connection and 4-pole, 690 V configuration support straightforward integration with standard VFDs and plant electrical architectures. The frame size 315 and 1533 kg net weight reflect a robust build intended for heavy-duty lines, where uptime and predictable performance matter most. At 1000 m altitude and 40 °C ambient conditions, the motor maintains reliability and efficiency, offering a resilient solution for long-running processes and critical pumps or fans.

FAQs
For proper installation, mount the motor on IMB5 or IM3001 support frames as specified and align with the load to minimize misalignment. Use the D-End top Terminator Box location for convenient wiring access. Ensure the enclosure is IP55 rated and provide adequate cooling clearance to handle 40 °C ambient conditions. After mounting, verify the Y connection and tighten all mounting bolts to spec to prevent rotor misalignment and vibration, which can affect efficiency and bearings over time.
The motor delivers 200 kW output with IE5 efficiency, showing Full Load (100%) around 97.0% and Partial Load (75%) around 97.1%, with 50% loading at about 96.8%. These figures translate to lower energy consumption, reduced cooling loads, and improved overall drive efficiency. The 4-pole, 690 V configuration supports smooth, controllable torque and reduced heat generation on continuous-duty lines, such as conveyors and pumps.
Yes. The motor is rated Exeb, offering explosion protection suitable for hazardous-area operation. This means it is designed to minimize ignition risk in gas or dust environments from electrical equipment. Combined with IP55 enclosure, it remains protected against dust ingress and water jets, enabling safer operation in chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and similar industries. Always verify site classifications and compliance requirements for your specific installation.
The motor supports a Y connection and is designed for 690 V, 50 Hz operation, which fits typical plant electrical systems. Compatibility with common VFDs simplifies control, while frame size 315 and the IMB5/IM3001 mounting options ease retrofits and new builds. Pay attention to ambient temperature (up to 40 °C) and altitude (up to 1000 m) specifications, as these impact cooling and derating calculations for drive design.
Expected ROI improves through IE5 energy savings, reduced cooling demands, and longer bearing life due to smoother torque. The SynRM design yields lower maintenance needs compared to some traditional induction motors, thanks to fewer mechanical stresses and consistent performance under load. For long-running lines like conveyors or pumps, this translates to fewer unplanned outages and a lower total cost of ownership over the motor lifecycle.
