Feature → Business Impact → Application. The IE2 efficiency rating (Full Load 95% at 100%) reduces energy consumption and cooling load, delivering lower operating costs and improved sustainability for pumps, fans, and compressors in continuous operation. This directly supports compliance with energy targets and reduces utility bills in manufacturing plants. Feature → Water-cooled design → Business Impact → Application. The water-cooled motor architecture provides superior heat rejection, enabling stable performance at elevated ambient temperatures (40 °C) and across up to 1000 m altitude, which minimizes derating and preserves torque in demanding processes such as extrusion lines and process cooling loops. Feature → IP55 protection → Business Impact → Application. The rugged enclosure shields internal windings from dust and moisture, reducing unplanned downtime in outdoor racks, dusty environments, or wash-down areas commonly found in mining equipment or chemical processing lines. Feature → Aluminum frame (315) with 6316/C3 bearings → Business Impact → Application. The lightweight yet durable housing simplifies handling, reduces installation time, and extends bearing life, supporting long-running hoist or conveyor drives in packaging or material handling systems. Feature → IMB5 IM3001 mounting class + Top terminator box → Business Impact → Application. This arrangement eases field wiring and service, enabling faster commissioning and simpler maintenance on installed bases such as water pumps and centrifuges. Feature → 2-pole, S1 duty, 315 frame → Business Impact → Application. The standard two-pole, continuous duty configuration delivers reliable, steady torque for applications like injectors and khu pumps, while staying compatible with common VFD control strategies for process automation. Industry insight: customers value predictability in maintenance intervals and compatibility with modular drive systems, which this motor supports through its robust mechanical and electrical characteristics.

FAQs
For installation, verify the top terminator box location and use the IMB5 IM3001 mounting class. Ensure the 315 frame is supported by a rigid base and align with standard couplings. Verify ambient conditions stay within 40 °C and ensure the environment supports IP55 protection. Wiring should follow the 3-phase configuration and use appropriate shielded cables for motor control centers to maximize reliability.
The water-cooled design enables superior heat removal, maintaining stable performance at 40 °C ambient and up to 1000 m altitude. This reduces thermal derating, preserves torque, and supports continuous S1 operation in demanding processes like pumps and compressors, resulting in higher availability and lower cooling costs in hot plants.
Yes. The M3LP 315MC 2 is rated for S1 continuous duty with IE2 efficiency and IP55 protection. Its 2-pole configuration provides reliable torque characteristics for conveyors and fans, while the rugged aluminum frame and bearings (6316/C3) extend service life in harsh environments, delivering consistent performance with lower maintenance.
This motor complies with IP55 enclosure protection and IE2 efficiency class, with insulation rated ICLF. It supports continuous-duty operation and is designed for challenging industrial settings. The unit’s aluminum frame, robust bearings, and top-entry terminals contribute to compliance with common global electrical standards and ease of integration into existing automation architectures.
Energy efficiency from IE2 reduces energy bills, while the water-cooled design lowers cooling requirements and limits thermal wear. The 6316/C3 bearings and IMB5 IM3001 mounting extend bearing life and reduce maintenance intervals. Combined with easy installation and a sturdy IP55 enclosure, the total cost of ownership improves through higher uptime and predictable maintenance needs.
