FAQs
The Y configuration requires three supply lines connected to the designated terminals per the IMB5/IM3001 mounting instructions. Use a 500 V, 50 Hz supply and ensure the terminal box is Top terminated to preserve IP55 integrity. Select Ex-rated cables and seal penetrations to maintain enclosure protection, and verify frame size 160 with the 8-pole rotor during commissioning.
The motor provides 4 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz in a Y configuration, with IC411 insulation and IP55 protection. It features Exdbeb flameproof protection and Gas Group IIB suitability, delivering IE3 premium efficiency. These attributes support reliable operation in hazardous environments while minimizing energy losses during continuous duty.
Yes. With Exdbeb flameproof protection, Exde classification, IP55 enclosure, and Gas Group IIB rating, it is designed for hazardous zones in oil, gas, and chemical facilities. The IMB5/IM3001 mounting and 8-pole configuration support stable operation under demanding process conditions, including altitudes up to 1000 m and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C.
IE3 efficiency reduces operating costs through lower full-load energy consumption, typically improving overall energy performance versus standard-efficiency motors. The rugged cast-iron frame, IP55 enclosure, and Ex protection lower maintenance needs and downtime. Expected ROI improves in process-critical lines due to energy savings, extended motor life, and easier retrofit or OEM integration.
Assess the M3KP designation and IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility for frame size 160 and 8-pole configuration. Ensure Ex-rated cables, correct terminal box location, and alignment with your retrofit or OEM project. Verify customs tariff number (85015220) and origin (Finland) for procurement and compliance documentation in hazardous-area facilities.
