FAQs
The motor uses a D connection configuration and is designed for 400 V, 50 Hz supply with 6 poles. Its IMB5/IM3001 mounting and D‑end termination simplify retrofit into existing frames, reducing installation time and minimizing wiring complexity while preserving alignment with standard drive architectures used in industrial facilities.
This motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection and an IP55 enclosure, suitable for IIB gas environments. It also carries an IE3 premium efficiency rating and an IC411 insulation class, providing reliable operation in hot industrial settings and helping ensure compliance with hazardous-area standards.
Yes. With Exdbeb flameproof protection and IIB gas-group compatibility, the motor is specifically engineered for hazardous-area installations. Its IP55 enclosure, T4 temperature class, and robust cast-iron frame further support safe operation under demanding conditions typical of oil, gas, and chemical processing plants.
The design supports IMB5/IM3001 mounting and a D-End top termination box, which simplifies assembly and service. The 280 frame size and standard 400 V, 50 Hz rating enable straightforward integration with existing conveyors, pumps, and fans, reducing downtime during upgrades and enhancing maintenance efficiency.
At 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is around 94.1% with partial-load around 94.2%, while at 60 Hz it is about 94.5% full-load and 93.5–93.5% at partial loads. This IE3 performance translates to lower energy consumption, helping reduce operating costs during continuous operation in demanding industrial processes.
