FAQs
The motor utilizes IMB5/IM3001 mounting, enabling straightforward alignment with standard couplings and gearboxes. With Exdbeb flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure, installation can be completed in hazardous-area environments without additional modular housings. Ensure mounting surfaces are clean and level, and follow the included torque specifications for mounting bolts to maintain explosion-protection integrity.
This motor provides Exdbeb flameproof protection and IP55 enclosure protection, suitable for hazardous zones. Insulation class ICLF supports temperature tolerances, while the S1 duty rating ensures continuous operation under load. The combination of flameproof protection and enclosure integrity helps meet stringent industrial safety requirements in chemical, oil & gas, and mining environments.
The motor is rated for 75 kW output at 400 V and 50 Hz with two poles, designed for up to 1000 m altitude. IE3 efficiency improves energy use across full-load and partial-load conditions, with Full Load efficiency around 94–95% and robust performance at elevated temperatures (ambient 40 °C). This translates to reliable torque and stable operation in demanding installations.
Yes, with S1 continuous-duty rating, IP55 protection, and Exdbeb flameproof construction, the motor is well-suited for continuous operation in demanding zones. Maintenance benefits include a cast-iron frame for durability, a robust 2-pole design for simpler drive selection, and a high-efficiency IE3 core that reduces energy-related wear. Regular inspection of bearings (6316/C3) and cooling paths will help sustain reliability.
Maximize ROI by leveraging the IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility to minimize mounting adapters and vibration issues. Use proper cable routing for 400 V supply, ensure compliance with IP55 and Ex protection during installation, and plan for motor alignment with compatible gearboxes or drives. The IE3 efficiency and durable cast-iron frame reduce energy costs and service downtime, improving total cost of ownership over the motor’s life cycle.
