FAQs
This motor uses a D configuration and a 500 V, 50 Hz supply. It features IP55 protection, Exdbeb explosion protection, and IC411 insulation. Install with IMB3/IM1001 mounting, connect via the terminal box located at the D-End top, and follow local electrical codes for hazardous locations to ensure safe, compliant operation.
At 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is around 95.2% with 75% and 50% loads near 95.5% and 95.2%. At 60 Hz, full-load efficiency is about 95.4%, with 75% load around 95.2% and 50% load about 94.2%. These figures reflect IE3 targets and help optimize energy consumption across varying duty cycles.
Yes. It carries Exdbeb explosion protection, IP55 enclosure, and gas group IIB classification, enabling safe operation in hazardous zones. Insulation is rated IC411, supporting stable performance under demanding conditions, while IMB3/IM1001 mounting provides robust installation options.
Frame size is 280 with a net length of 1090 mm and a net weight of 729 kg (gross 749 kg). The terminator box is located on the D-End top. Mounting is compatible with IMB3/IM1001 standards, facilitating straightforward retrofits and new installations in constrained spaces.
The 90 kW IE3 motor reduces energy consumption versus older IE2 variants, lowering operating costs. Its rugged cast iron frame and flameproof design minimize maintenance needs in harsh environments, while Ex protection and IP55 enable longer service intervals and safer operation in hazardous facilities, supporting a favorable return on investment.
