FAQs
The M3LP 500LC 4 uses a robust IMB5 IM3001 mounting class with a 500 frame and a D-End right-side terminator box. It is designed for base mounting and aligns with standard 500 mm frame footprints, simplifying retrofit into existing plant layouts. Ensure adequate coolant plumbing for the water-cooled design and confirm voltage code U and duty S1 specifications are consistent with your site power and continuous operation requirements.
Rated as IE3, the motor delivers high efficiency with Full Load (100%) around 97.5% and Partial Load (75%) near 97.6% (Partial Load 50% also ~97.5%). Its 4-pole design provides nominal speed suitable for conveyors and pumps, while IC71W insulation supports long service life in challenging environments. These figures translate to measurable energy savings in continuous-duty applications.
Yes. With IP55 protection and an ambient tolerance of up to 40 C plus operation up to 1000 m, the M3LP 500LC 4 is well-suited for dusty floors, humid plants, and outdoor installations. The IC71W insulation and rugged bearings further enhance reliability in demanding automation environments such as metalworking, mining, and chemical processing.
This motor features IP55 protection, IC71W insulation, and IC standard designations, along with a robust frame and 4-pole configuration for continuous load. It is suitable for international deployment and aligns with typical industrial procurement criteria, contributing to safer operation and regulatory compliance in automated facilities.
Water cooling stabilizes motor temperatures, reducing thermal derating and enabling longer duty cycles between maintenance events. This lowers energy losses, extends bearing life, and reduces fan-driven cooling losses common in air-cooled designs. For OEMs and end users, the result is improved uptime, lower maintenance costs, and a faster return on investment in process-critical equipment.
