FAQs
This motor supports IMB5 IM3001 mounting, with a top terminator box location for convenient wiring access. The cast-iron frame and 160 frame size give rigidity in confined spaces, while the 6-pole design works with standard 400 V, 50 Hz electrical systems. Ensure alignment with IEC guidelines during installation and verify enclosure IP55 for protection in harsh environments.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers IE3 efficiency with full-load performance around 90.3% (100% load) and high partial-load efficiency around 88.5–91.8% depending on load. This means substantial energy savings compared with standard efficiency motors, with stable torque delivery during 75% and 50% duty, reducing operating costs in continuous-duty applications.
Yes. The 3GKP163420-BDK carries Ex protection (Exdbeb) suitable for hazardous zones and gas group IIB, enabling safe operation in chemical and oil & gas facilities. The flameproof enclosure, together with IP55 protection and robust construction, helps meet regulatory requirements while supporting reliable performance under harsh ambient conditions.
Key standards include IEC 60034-1 for motors and Ex protection requirements for flameproof Exde motors. The IP55 rating, IC insulation class ICLF, and a 40 °C ambient limit support compliance with many hazardous-area installations. The motor is designed for 3GKP IE3 design goals under continuous S1 duty, with a documented 1000 m altitude capability for installation flexibility.
The combination of IE3 efficiency, Ex-rated protection, and robust cast-iron construction reduces energy costs and maintenance cycles. Expect lower downtime due to rugged bearings (6309/C3) and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, along with longer service intervals in harsh environments. A well-planned spare-part strategy (bearings, seals, filters) minimizes unplanned downtime and supports faster return on investment.
