FAQs
This motor uses a D connection configuration and IMB5/IM3001 mounting, designed for straightforward integration with VFDs and soft starters. The frame size 315, 4-pole construction, and 500 V, 50 Hz rating simplify matching with standard industrial drive systems. When planning upgrades, verify terminal box access (terminator box location: D-End top) and ensure compliance with IP55 and Exdbeb protections for hazardous locations.
Key specs include 160 kW output, 4 poles, frame size 315, 500 V input at 50 Hz, IE3 premium efficiency, IP55 enclosure, and Exdbeb flameproof protection. The motor is a 3-phase squirrel cage design suitable for continuous S1 duty, with IC411 insulation and a 1000 m altitude rating, enabling reliable operation in demanding settings.
Yes. It features Exdbeb explosion protection for hazardous zones and an IP55-rated enclosure for dust and moisture resistance. The gas group IIB designation and T4 insulation class further support safe operation under elevated temperatures. Always confirm local compliance and marking requirements (potential CE considerations) with the supplier prior to installation.
The combination of IE3 efficiency and robust cast-iron construction lowers energy bills and reduces maintenance cycles, contributing to a favorable ROI in continuous-duty applications. Maintenance is typically centered on bearing inspection (6319/C3 and 6316/C3 specs) and periodic enclosure checks, with reduced risk of motor overheating in hot plants due to efficient design and appropriate insulation.
Install using IMB5/IM3001 mounting with the D-End top terminator box for easy electrical connection. The unit supports standard drive interfaces, enabling straightforward VFD or soft-start integration. Ensure correct alignment with frame 315, 4-pole configuration, and verify ambient temperature (40 °C) and altitude (1000 m) ratings for optimal performance.
