3-phase-induction motor plate - the most important informations (according to IEC 60034)

General information

Motor plate 3 phase induction motor

1.   Shaft power P in kW with a nominal load
2.   Power factor cos φ
3.  IP- International Protection , also called Ingress Protection, classifies and rates the degree of protection of casings and enclosures.  The IP code is indicated by 2 numbers: First number: Degree of protection provided against intrusion, second number: Protection against water.
4. Nominal rotational speed
5. Rated voltage and electrical connection. Here, the motor may be connected to delta at 400 V mains voltage.
6. Phase current at nominal speed
7. Rated frequency
8. Insulation class - specifies the thermal resistance of the motor winding.
