Electric motor 500 kW, 2985 rpm, 400/690 V, 3LC-355LX2B-2

A power output of 500 kW, rated speed of 2985 rpm and supply voltage of 400/690 V give the 3LC-355LX2B-2 exactly the characteristics required of a 2-pole electric motor in continuous operation. This asynchronous electric motor is designed for situations where the drive is expected to provide stable starting, consistent operation and efficiency that translates into long-term operating costs even under high load.

IE3 efficiency class reduces losses in the normal duty cycle and helps keep energy consumption under control even in applications with a high annual number of operating hours. In large factories and OEM projects, this approach translates into better energy planning, lower thermal stress and more stable operation of the drive technology.

2-pole electric motor for stable performance under high load

The two-pole design supports rapid acceleration to operating speed and is well suited to applications where a direct connection to the technological process is required. A rated current of 819 A at △ 400V and 475 A at Y 690V provides a clear basis for designing switchgear, protection and starting systems in industrial environments.

A starting torque ratio of 1.4, breakdown torque ratio of 2 and starting current ratio of 7 create an operating profile that helps designers estimate drive behaviour during starting and short-term load changes. For operators of large factories, this is particularly important where the motor is connected to lines with high inertia or frequent starts after technological shutdowns.

Robust cast-iron frame withstands industrial operation without compromise

A robust cast-iron frame, reinforced cast-iron bearing shields and reinforced cast-iron feet place this motor in a category designed for tough real-world factory conditions, not just laboratory environments. A noise level of 95 dB(A) corresponds to a power class in which workplace acoustics and suitable mounting of the drive within the overall system must also be considered during design.

The DE bearing 6319-C3 and NDE bearing 6319-C3 support reliable rotor mounting under prolonged load. This makes the motor particularly suitable for assemblies where long service intervals and predictable behaviour in highly utilised production operation are expected from the drive.

Overview of operating values for drive design

A power factor of 0.92 and efficiency of 95.8% give designers the basis for precise sizing of supply conductors and downstream technological units. In practice, this means the asynchronous electric motor can be integrated into the system without unnecessary reserves that would increase both investment and operating costs.

Asynchronous electric motor for lines where continuous operation is decisive

The 3LC PRO model is suitable for production operations where line availability, not just nominal power, is monitored. More than 15 years of experience in the design and supply of industrial motors shows that details such as mounting, starting characteristics, compatibility with the power supply and suitable connection to control technology are decisive.

The 355 mm frame size allows installation in robust assemblies used in heavy manufacturing, large technological units and system deliveries for OEM partners. An IE3 electric motor in this design supports operations where long service life and trouble-free integration into existing systems are expected.

Specific use in industrial technologies

Thanks to its power class and speed of 2985 rpm, the motor is suitable for many applications where high dynamics and reliable maintenance of operating parameters are required.

Drive technology prepared for long-term loading

When designing a new line or replacing an existing drive, it is important to consider how the motor behaves in the actual operating cycle. This 2-pole electric motor combines power, efficiency and robust mechanical construction so that it can be used in environments where downtime has a direct impact on production.

If you need a motor for production technology that requires rapid deployment and reliable performance, order the 3LC-355LX2B-2 today. Current stock availability and fast delivery help shorten the time between design and commissioning.

Choice for OEM projects and large factories

OEM manufacturers of large technological units will particularly appreciate predictable project integration, easier power-distribution planning and consistent behaviour in series assembly. In large factories, the ability to standardise the drive across several lines and keep service logic under control is equally important.

The 3LC PRO model in this configuration delivers efficiency and value for applications where consumption, service life and performance stability are considered together. If your project has a tight schedule, order it without delay so the motor is ready for the next stage of installation and commissioning.
