Feature → Business Impact → Application: 6-pole, 450 frame, welded steel housing provides a rigid, vibration-resistant platform, improving motor longevity and reducing maintenance intervals in heavy conveyors and pumps. This translates to lower downtime and predictable production output in steel mills and mining operations. Feature → IP55 protection and water-cooled design reduce thermal stress in high-dust, wash-down environments, enabling reliable operation in chemical processing and food & beverage lines where moisture and particulates are common. Feature → IE3 efficiency with VFD compatibility delivers measurable energy savings across variable loads, lowering energy spend in continuous process lines and pumping stations, particularly where partial-load efficiency remains high. Feature → Insulation Class ICFL and IC71W rating support higher temperature tolerance and electrical reliability, increasing resistance to motor starvations and voltage transients in remote or hot plants. Feature → IMB3 IM1001 mounting classification and D-End right side terminator box location streamline installation and serviceability, reducing commissioning time and allowing easier retrofits in legacy plants. Feature → Altitude 1000 m and Ambient Temperature 40 °C specifications ensure robust performance in outdoor or restricted indoor spaces typical in mining, paper, or mineral processing facilities, minimizing the risk of derating. Overall, the combination of a robust frame, proven bearings (6326/C3), and a thoughtful enclosure design contributes to lower lifecycle costs, lower total cost of ownership, and a smoother path to compliance with industry standards for heavy-duty drives.

FAQs
This 450-frame, welded steel motor uses IMB3 IM1001 mounting and features a D-End right side terminator box. Ensure a solid foundation for heavy equipment, confirm IP55 enclosure suitability in dusty or wash-down areas, and verify ambient temperature (up to 40 °C) and altitude (up to 1000 m). Confirm cable sizing, VFD compatibility, and available space for the 4200 kg net/4240 kg gross package during onboarding. Proper alignment and securing hardware are essential to minimize vibration and maximize bearing life.
The motor is rated IE3 with a 6-pole configuration and a C3/B3 bearing arrangement. It operates under S1 continuous duty, ensuring stable performance at full load for extended periods. IE3 full-load efficiency is 95.8%, with high efficiency maintained under partial loads (75% and 50%), supporting energy savings across variable speed operations when paired with an appropriate drive system.
Yes. The 3GLP453520-RDK is designed as a water-cooled motor IE3, optimized for heavy-duty applications where heat rejection is critical. It suits process lines requiring reliable cooling in enclosed spaces or high ambient temperatures, such as chemical processing, mining, and mining-related pumping systems. Its insulation class (ICFL) and high-temperature tolerance help maintain performance in demanding environments.
Key protections include IP55 enclosure and IC71W insulation with ICFL class. The motor supports robust reliability in harsh environments and a long lifecycle, meeting common industrial standards for protection, insulation, and thermal tolerance. Orientation options and bearing design further contribute to dependable operation under continuous duty and challenging conditions.
Expect lower downtime due to rugged welded steel frame, proven bearings (6326/C3 and 6322/C3), and a durable enclosure. The motor's design supports longer service intervals, easier maintenance access (D-End box location), and compatibility with standard controls, all contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership and faster return on investment in heavy-duty industrial settings.
