FAQs
This motor uses a D connection with IMB3/IM1001 mounting and a 315 frame. Ensure proper alignment, robust cast-iron housing mounting, and correct cable entry at the D-End top termination. Verify Ex-rated enclosure and flameproof sealing, follow local electrical codes, and configure for 50 Hz supply at 500 V to avoid overloading.
The motor is IE3 premium efficiency with Full Load efficiency around 95.8% at 50 Hz. It supports S1 duty (continuous operation) and maintains high efficiency at partial loads (75% and 50%), helping reduce energy consumption in continuous processing applications and improving total cost of ownership.
Yes. The Ex protection class Exdbeb, IP55 rating, and Gas Group IIB make it appropriate for hazardous environments. It features IC411 insulation, a flameproof enclosure, and mounting options that support reliable operation in chemically aggressive or explosive atmospheres.
Key certifications include Exdbeb explosion protection, IP55 ingress protection, IC411 insulation class, Gas Group IIB, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility. The unit is designed for Finland-origin manufacturing (FI) and complies with typical hazardous-area guidelines and energy efficiency standards relevant to industrial facilities.
Expect lower energy costs from IE3 efficiency and reduced downtime due to rugged cast-iron framing, IP55 protection, and Ex flameproof design. The robust bearings (6316/C3) and stable mounting reduce maintenance frequency, while longer service intervals translate to a favorable return on investment in long-cycle manufacturing or process industries.
