Product catalog summary
Introduction
LEESON offers the Passport Series of IEC motors, designed to meet global standards set by the International Electromechanical Commission (IEC). These motors are suitable for OEMs aiming to align with international specifications.

IEC Standards Overview
The IEC is the global authority for electric motor standards, which are often more specific than NEMA standards. This specificity means that NEMA and IEC motors are not always interchangeable, particularly in flange-type motor mounts.

IEC Motor Enclosures
IEC motor enclosures are defined by two codes: IC (Inherent Cooling) and IP (Ingress Protection). Higher numbers indicate greater protection, with IP68 offering dust-tight and immersion protection.

LEESON Passport Series Features
The Passport Series includes motors with various IP ratings, from IP00 (open) to IP56 (waterproof). They are available in different cooling configurations such as IC410 (non-ventilated) and IC411 (fan-cooled).

Key Factors of IEC Metric Motors
IEC motors require specific considerations for dimensions, nameplate markings, torque, temperature performance, and ingress protection. LEESON's motors comply with IEC 60034-1 standards and are used in industries like machine tools, textile machinery, and food processing.

NEMA Code Letters
NEMA code letters indicate locked rotor KVA/HP, essential for determining starter sizes.

IEC Product Differentiators
IEC motors offer various mounting options, including foot-mounted and flange-mounted configurations. Conduit boxes are typically located on top of the motor, with options for side mounting.

Technical Specifications
LEESON IEC motors are available in aluminum and cast iron frames, with features like inverter duty insulation, oil seals, and removable feet. They support various mounting codes and configurations.

Performance and Efficiency
IEC motors are designed for high efficiency, utilizing low-loss steel laminations. They offer a service factor of 1.15 and are inverter duty rated.

Formulas and Calculations
The document provides formulas for converting horsepower to kilowatts, calculating full load torque, and determining locked rotor amps. These are crucial for specifying the correct motor for applications.
