FAQs
For installation, ensure Exdbeb protection is maintained by using appropriate explosion-proof housings and gaskets. Mounting should follow IMB3/IM1001 guidelines with top-terminator box positioning to simplify cable routing. The Y connection configuration supports flexible wiring, while the 160 frame size fits compact enclosures. Verify ambient temperature does not exceed 40 °C and altitude remains within 1000 m to avoid performance derating.
This motor features Exdbeb explosion protection, IP55 enclosure rating, and IE3 efficiency data. These certifications ensure safe operation in hazardous environments, protect against dust and water ingress, and deliver high energy efficiency. Compliance with these standards reduces risk, supports regulatory audits, and lowers operating costs through better efficiency and reliable performance.
