FAQs
This motor uses a D connection configuration and 500 V supply at 50 Hz. Ensure switchgear and VFDs are rated for 500 V operation and that cabling meets hazardous-area standards. Its IMB3/IM1001 mounting and 180 frame size simplify mounting to existing bases. Plan for Ex protection clearances and compliant cable routing in hazardous zones.
The motor delivers 11 kW output with 8 poles, IE3 efficiency, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation. It features Exdbeb explosion protection for IIB gas groups, a rugged cast-iron frame, and operation up to 40 °C ambient at 1000 m altitude. These specs support continuous operation with high protection levels in chemical, petrochemical, and mining settings.
Yes. The 3GKP184410-AEK is specified for S1 (continuous) duty, with robust mounting (IMB3/IM1001) and a design that sustains steady operation under normal load. Pair it with proper cooling and drive control to maximize uptime in demanding industrial lines like pumps and conveyors.
The motor features Exdbeb explosion protection for IIB gas groups, IP55 enclosure protection, and IC411 insulation, making it suitable for hazardous zones and harsh environments. It is designed for Finland-origin manufacturing and aligns with standard LV motor certifications, enabling compliant procurement and installation in regulated facilities.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy losses on continuous-duty loads, while the durable cast-iron frame and robust protection minimize downtime and maintenance costs.
