Flameproof Exdbeb protection → Enhances safety in hazardous-area installations and reduces risk of ignition in IIB gas environments, enabling compliant operation in chemical plants, oil rigs, and mining sites. This directly lowers downtime and maintenance costs while supporting continuous production. IE3 Premium efficiency at 160 kW → Delivers substantial energy savings over traditional motors, improving total cost of ownership and reducing cooling load in high-duty applications such as pumps and fans at 400 V, 50 Hz. Applications include conveyor and processing lines where consistent torque is essential and energy budgets are tight. IP55 enclosure and robust build → Provides dirt and water ingress protection for harsh industrial environments, extending service intervals and protecting bearings and windings in dusty facilities and outdoor installations. Ideal for IMB5/IM3001 mounting where space and accessibility are factors. Cast-iron frame 315 and precise bearing assemblies → Offers high stiffness and long life in dynamic loads, with bearing configurations 6319/C3 and 6316/C3 that support heavy start/stop cycles in demanding lines, reducing maintenance interventions. Delta connection at 400 V and 50 Hz → Simplifies integration with existing 3-phase plants; standardizes wiring for quick commissioning and easier spare-part management, while maintaining reliable torque delivery for S1-duty cycles. Altitude and ambient tolerance → Rated for up to 1000 m and 40 °C ambient, which broadens site suitability and minimizes derating concerns in regional facilities, contributing to consistent performance across shifts and seasons.
