FAQs
Install the 3GKP161420-BDK using IMB5/IM3001 mounting per the IEC 60034-1 guidelines. Ensure the Ex protection rating Exdbeb is maintained by using appropriately rated connectors and glands, and verify the D connection configuration. Check alignment with the 2-pole, 160-frame assembly and verify the 400 V 50 Hz supply with proper overcurrent protection. Regularly inspect mounting bolts for tightness after initial run-in.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers IE3 efficiency with full-load efficiency around 91.9%, and at 75% load approximately 92.3%, with 50% load near 91.9%. This premium efficiency reduces running costs in continuous S1 duty and helps lower energy consumption across typical fan, pump, and compressor applications.
