FAQs
Installers should account for Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, and IC411 insulation. The motor is designed for IMB5/IM3001 mounting and uses the D-End top terminator box location for accessible wiring. It supports operation up to 40 °C ambient and 1000 m altitude, ensuring reliable startup in challenging sites.
The unit uses a Delta (D) connection configuration, optimized for high-torque starts and robust field wiring layouts. Ensure compatible drive or soft starter control and verify local hazardous-area wiring practices are followed to maintain Ex protection and IP55 integrity.
Yes. With 160 kW output at 500 V and 50 Hz, IP55 protection, and Exdbeb flameproof protection, it is well suited for S1 continuous duty in hazardous environments. Its 2-pole design provides strong starting torque for pumping and ventilation applications while maintaining high efficiency.
It features Exdbeb flameproof protection for hazardous areas, IIB gas group compatibility, IP55 enclosure rating, and IC411 insulation Class. These certifications support safe operation in chemical, oil & gas, and mining environments.
Upgrading to IE3 saves energy by improving efficiency under full and partial loads, reducing electricity costs over the motor’s life. In hazardous environments, improved reliability and reduced downtime also lower maintenance costs and extend mean time between failures, contributing to a favorable return on investment over the project life cycle.
