FAQs
For hazardous-area installations, ensure Exdbeb flameproof protection is maintained, verify gas group IIB suitability, and confirm IP55 enclosure integrity in the intended Zone 1 location. Use IMB3/IM1001 mounting and respect the top termination box layout to simplify wiring routing and future serviceability.
At 50 Hz, the motor meets IE3 with full-load efficiency around 91.9% and minor losses at partial loads (75% and 50%). At 60 Hz, full-load efficiency is approximately 91.0% with similar partial-load performance. Duty is S1 continuous, suitable for constant-speed operation in steady processes.
Yes. The 3GKP161420-ASL is designed for IMB3 IM1001 mounting with a top-terminated box, facilitating straightforward installation, alignment with standard baseplates, and easier on-site serviceability and maintenance.
Key certifications include IEC 60034-1 (motor standard), Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous areas, and IP55 enclosure rating. The insulation class is IC411, and the motor is suitable for gas group IIB environments. These ensure regulatory compliance, worker safety, and suitability for global industrial standards.
The IE3 efficiency class reduces energy costs over the motor’s life, delivering noticeable savings in continuous-drive applications. Maintenance remains predictable due to robust cast-iron frame, sealed IP55 enclosure, and standard IMB3 mounting, which simplifies spare-part stocking and preventive maintenance planning for large motor fleets.
