FAQs
Ensure proper Ex protection configuration (Exdbeb), use the IP55 enclosure for dust and water ingress protection, and select the IMB3/IM1001 mounting option with a top terminator box. Verify supply is 500 V at 50 Hz and confirm the 2-pole, frame size 250 fits your equipment footprint. Follow site safety and permit-to-work procedures during installation.
The motor delivers 55 kW output with a 500 V input at 50 Hz, configured as a 2-pole machine. It is rated IE3 for premium efficiency, with IP55 protection and Exdbeb flameproof protection. The device uses a D connection option, and a top-terminator box supports straightforward wiring and maintenance.
Yes. It is rated for altitudes up to 1000 m and ambient temperatures up to 40 °C, with an IP55 enclosure and ICFL insulation class. These ratings support reliable operation in hot facilities and elevated locations common in mining or oil-and-gas processing sites.
Key compliance includes IEC 60034-1 for general motor standards, IE3 for energy efficiency, and Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous areas. The enclosure is IP55, and the motor carries IMB3/IM1001 mounting suitability, aligning with typical industrial and safety regulations for heavy-duty environments.
IE3 efficiency reduces energy costs over time, while the flameproof Ex protection lowers risk of equipment downtime due to enclosure breaches. With robust bearings (6315/C3) and Top box access, routine maintenance is streamlined, which supports a favorable return on investment in facilities with demanding duty cycles and critical uptime requirements.
