FAQs
Installers should verify Ex protection (Exdbeb) and ensure correct D connection wiring. The motor uses IMB3/IM1001 mounting with a top terminator box location, which simplifies assembly at the site. Confirm IP55 enclosure and ambient limit (40 °C) are respected, and follow local hazardous-area guidelines for safe integration with existing drive systems.
Key specs include a 500 V input, 50 Hz operation, 400 kW output, 8 poles, and IE3 efficiency. The motor is designed for S1 duty with a 400 frame and 3-phase configuration, plus IP55 and IC411 insulation. Ensure your VFD or soft starter supports Ex-rated equipment if applicable and verify derating at altitude up to 1000 m.
Yes. The Exdbeb flameproof rating, Gas Group IIB classification, and IP55 enclosure position this motor well for hazardous-area uses in oil & gas, chemical plants, and mining operations. The 400 kW rating, 8-pole design, and robust cast-iron frame offer reliable, long-life performance under demanding process conditions.
IE3 premium efficiency demonstrates improved full-load performance, with IE Class data at 50 Hz showing around 94.6% efficiency at full load. Reduced energy consumption translates to lower operating costs, faster payback in large motor-driven systems, and better overall lifecycle economics for continuous industrial processes.
The motor features cast-iron frame, bearings 6324/C3 and 6319/C3, and IMB3/IM1001 mounting for rugged service. Regular checks should include bearing condition, terminal box integrity, and insulation status. Its Ex protection and sturdy housing reduce fault risk, while top-termination access streamlines routine maintenance and potential upgrades.
