FAQs
To install safely, verify mounting alignment with IMB3/IM1001 standards and confirm the 315 frame matches your existing footprint. Ensure any coupling and belt drives are rated for 500 V, 50 Hz operation and that the terminal box orientation aligns with D-Configuration. Check ambient temperature, altitude, and enclosure requirements to maintain IP55 and Ex protections during commissioning.
The motor delivers 160 kW output at 50 Hz with a 500 V input. It is rated for continuous S1 duty and features IE3 premium efficiency. With a two-pole design and a 315 frame, it provides strong torque characteristics suitable for high-load drives, while maintaining energy efficiency and reduced operating costs over time.
Yes. The motor is Exdbeb flameproof and features an IP55 enclosure suitable for hazardous locations. It combines flameproof protection with IE3 efficiency and ICFL insulation, aligning with industry requirements for safety and performance in ATEX/IECEx contexts, making it appropriate for chemical, oil & gas, and mining applications.
Exdbeb protection minimizes ignition risk in explosive atmospheres, while IP55 guards against dust and water ingress. This reduces maintenance frequency related to contamination and corrosion, supports safer inspections, and helps maintain regulatory compliance without compromising motor performance or uptime.
The IE3 efficiency class lowers energy costs, often delivering a favorable ROI in drives and process applications. Durable cast-iron construction and flameproof design reduce maintenance needs in harsh environments, while IMB3 mounting simplifies retrofits. Ongoing maintenance focuses on bearing lubrication, cooling, and wiring integrity to sustain peak efficiency and safety.
