FAQs
This motor uses Exde flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure, with a Y connection, 6-pole design, 15 kW output, and 500 V/50 Hz supply. It mounts via IMB3/IM1001 and includes a top terminator box for straightforward wiring. Ensure proper grounding and compliance with local ATEX/IECEx requirements, while confirming ambient temperature and altitude limits are within 40 °C and 1000 m respectively.
Yes. The 3GKP183410-AFL is designed for IMB3/IM1001 mounting in a frame size 180. It uses a cast-iron frame and 6310/C3 bearings, with a top-mounted terminator box facilitating installation. This compatibility supports reliable alignment with standard drive systems and simplifies retrofit projects.
It carries IE3 premium efficiency, with Full Load values of 91.4% at 50 Hz and 91.7% at 60 Hz, reducing energy losses in typical process loads. This translates to lower operating costs, improved drive efficiency, and better overall sustainability for pumps, fans, and conveyors in demanding facilities.
The motor features Ex protection (Exde/Exdbeb), IP55 enclosure, and Gas Group IIB suitability, along with insulation ICFL and temperature class T4. These certifications align with common ATEX/IECEx regulatory frameworks, enabling safer operation in oil, gas, chemical, and mining environments.
The 3GKP183410-AFL uses a rugged cast-iron frame, 6310/C3 bearings, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting to resist demanding conditions. Heavy net weight (282 kg) and robust housing support longer service intervals, while the Ex protections and IP55 rating reduce frequent inspections. Regular checks on bearings and terminal connections keep downtime to a minimum in production-critical settings.
