FAQs
Install the motor with IMB5/IM3001 mounting, ensure IP55 enclosure integrity, and connect in Y configuration as specified. Verify Exdbeb protection class for your ATEX/IECEx zone, keep within the 40 °C ambient rating, and follow the 1000 m altitude guidelines. This approach minimizes commissioning time while maximizing safety and compliance.
The motor operates at 400 V and 50 Hz, delivering 7.5 kW with 8 poles (frame size 160) under IE3 efficiency. The terminal configuration is Y, with IC411 insulation. IP55 protection and Exdbeb explosion protection ensure reliability in harsh environments, supporting stable torque and startup performance.
Yes. The 3GKP164430-BSK features Exdbeb explosion protection and IIB gas group capability, designed for hazardous zones. Combined with IP55 and IC411 insulation, it aligns with typical ATEX/IECEx expectations for safe operation in chemical processing and similar industries.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy consumption at full and partial load, lowering electricity costs over the motor’s lifecycle. With full-load efficiency around 87.3% at 50 Hz and 89.5% at 60 Hz, you gain notable operating savings, while robust construction minimizes maintenance needs in tough environments.
The motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting and frame size 160, designed for straightforward alignment in existing plant footings. The 8-pole, 7.5 kW configuration supports reliable coupling with standard gearings and variable-speed drives, reducing retrofit complexity and enabling faster project schedules.
