FAQs
The motor is designed for 400 V, 50 Hz supply and uses a Y (star) connection configuration that simplifies wiring and starter selection. With a frame size 160, 8 poles, and IP55 protection, it integrates smoothly with standard variable frequency drives and soft starters in hazardous-area plants, reducing installation time and maximizing drive efficiency.
Exdbeb flameproof protection ensures enclosure integrity in explosive atmospheres, while the IIB gas group specifies compatibility with certain hydrocarbon environments. Together, they enable safe operation in Zone 1/Zone 2 areas, easing compliance considerations and reducing ignition risk in pumps, compressors, and fans used in processing facilities.
At 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is around 87.3%, with partial-load figures near 87.8% at 75% load and 86.4% at 50% load. At 60 Hz, full-load efficiency rises to about 89.5%, with 75% and 50% loads around 89.6% and 88.2% respectively. These figures support energy savings targets for continuous-duty operation.
Key installation notes include IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility, top-placed terminator box, and a frame 160 with a robust cast-iron enclosure. The product net dimensions are 808 mm x 499 mm x 307 mm with a weight of 232 kg, making it suitable for rigid base mounting and requiring appropriate lifting and alignment during commissioning.
The motor's IE3 efficiency and flameproof protection yield energy savings and safer operation, contributing to a favorable ROI over its lifecycle. Maintenance benefits come from robust bearings (6309/C3), a simple top-terminator design, and standardized dimension compatibility, which translate to easier field service and longer service intervals in demanding hazardous-area applications.
