FAQs
The motor uses a frame size 160 and IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility, making it straightforward to retrofit into existing IMB3 installations. With a 400 V, 50 Hz three-phase supply and a Y connection, it integrates into standard industrial electrical rooms and conveyor, pump, or fan drives without extensive rework. Always verify shaft alignment and terminal box access during commissioning.
At 50 Hz, the motor delivers 4 kW output with an IE3 efficiency profile. Full Load (100%) efficiency is approximately 84.8%, with 75% and 50% partial-load efficiencies near 84.7% and 82.4% respectively, ensuring reliable energy performance across typical operating profiles in continuous duty.
Yes. The 3GKP164410-ASK features Exdbeb flameproof protection for IIB gas groups and an IP55 enclosure, meeting stringent safety standards for explosive atmospheres. Insulation is rated IC411 with an IC L F class, supporting reliable operation under elevated temperatures and duty in process plants.
The flameproof Ex protection coupled with a robust cast-iron frame reduces ignition risk and wear in harsh environments, lowering maintenance frequency. A premium IE3 motor also lowers running costs through improved efficiency, while the IP55 rating minimizes ingress-related downtime, resulting in lower total cost of ownership over the motor’s life.
Upgrading to IE3 improves electrical efficiency by reducing energy losses at rated load, commonly delivering a 2–5% annual energy saving over IE2 equivalents, depending on duty cycle. In hazardous-area applications, the combination of safety certifications, reliability, and reduced downtime further amplifies the return on investment through lowered maintenance and extended mean time between failures.
