FAQs
Installation should follow the IMB3/IM1001 mounting guidelines, using the 315 frame and cast-iron enclosure for rigid support. Connect to a 500 V, 50 Hz power supply with a D connection configuration, and place the motor with the D-End top terminator box accessible for maintenance. Ensure adequate space for cooling and inspection of Ex protection components during commissioning.
IE3 Premium Efficiency delivers lower I2R losses and improved torque-to-load performance. At 50 Hz, full-load efficiency is approximately 94.9%, with minor variations at partial loads (75% ~95.1%, 50% ~94.7%). This translates to meaningful energy savings during continuous operation, reducing lifecycle costs and helping meet sustainability targets.
Yes. The motor features Exdbeb flameproof protection with IP55 enclosure and Gas Group IIB designation, making it suitable for hazardous environments. Its insulation class ICFL, temperature class T4, and ATEX/IECEx-compatible construction support safe operation in volatile atmospheres while maintaining reliable performance under demanding conditions.
Key certifications include Exdbeb flameproof protection, IP55 enclosure, IC411 insulation, and IE3 energy efficiency. The unit is designed for S1 duty, with 6 poles and a flameproof construction suitable for EN/IECEx compliance, as well as a Gas Group IIB classification for chemical and petrochemical applications.
Maintenance benefits arise from a rugged cast-iron frame, IMB3/IM1001 mounting compatibility, and a robust Ex protection scheme that reduces unplanned downtime. The 90 kW IE3 motor lowers energy costs over its life, delivering a favorable return on investment through improved uptime, longer service intervals, and lower operating expenses in continuous, demanding processes.
