– Compact and robust frame

– Low noise levels (82 dB(A) at 3600rpm)

– Optimum efficiencies due to low mechanical losses

– Innovative design of the DE endshield fins for maximum heat dissipation

– Uniform temperature distribution across the motor frame due to the exclusive internal ventilation system

– Easy access to accessories

– State of the art air deflector on the DE endshield ensuring lower bearing temperature

– Modular forced ventilation kit

– Wide range of options and accessories

– Terminal box location on either left or right side

Electrical Performance:

– Suitable for VFD applications

– High output/weight ratio

– Low starting current

– WISE® insulation system for low voltage motors

– VPI insulation system for medium voltage motors

– Insulated NDE endshield for all motors

– Wound stator winding and bearings with temperature sensors

– Low bearing temperatures ensure longer lubrication intervals and extended bearing lifetime

– Low vibration levels ensure longer motor lifetime
