FAQs
Plan for IMB5/IM3001 mounting and the top terminator box location. Use a 160 frame with a 3‑phase Y connection at 500 V and 50 Hz. Ensure the IP55 enclosure seals against dust and moisture, and respect ambient conditions of up to 40 °C and altitude up to 1000 m. Provide adequate ventilation to minimize heat buildup and vibration.
Exdbeb provides explosion-protected enclosure to prevent ignition in explosive atmospheres, while IP55 safeguards against dust and water ingress. Together with IC411 insulation and a robust 11 kW rating, the motor delivers safe, reliable operation in chemical, mining, and oil & gas installations without compromising performance.
Yes. The motor is rated for S1 continuous duty and is designed for up to 1000 m altitude with ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. The insulation class ICFL and temperature class T4 support long, steady operation, while IE3 efficiency reduces heat generation during extended runs.
IMB5 IM3001 mounting compatibility, 6-pole design, and a top terminator box make retrofits straightforward and align with common industrial drives. The 160 frame size and 3GKP designation provide predictable mounting dimensions, simplifying alignment with gearboxes, couplings, and mounting brackets in automated lines.
IE3 offers measurable energy savings at full and partial load, lowering operating costs and heat load in hazardous environments. Combined with robust flameproof protection and long life-cycle reliability, the motor reduces maintenance frequency and unplanned downtime, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for continuous-process applications.
