Starting Response
Explains starting characteristics, including starting current, torque, and voltage, with methods like Direct-on-Line (D.O.L.) and Star-Delta starting.
Starting Methods
  • Star-Delta Starting: Reduces starting torque and current by approximately 30% compared to D.O.L. starting.
  • Autotransformer Starting: Utilizes a voltage ratio to reduce starting current, resulting in lower motor torque.
  • Soft Starter Starting: Gradually increases voltage during starting, limiting current to 1.5 to 3 times the nominal current.
Cooling Methods
  • IC 411: Suitable for frame sizes ≥ 355 in zones A + B, and ≤ 315 in zone A.
  • IC 416: Suitable for frame sizes ≤ 355 in zones A + B + C.
Variable Speed Applications
Motors can be used with frequency converters, maintaining the Un/fn relationship up to nominal speed, with precautions for voltage peaks and wave-fronts.
Environmental Conditions
Performance is rated at a maximum altitude of 1000 m a.s.l. and 40°C ambient temperature, with derating factors for different conditions.
Efficiency and Power Factor
Efficiency and power factor vary with load, with tables providing values for different load percentages.
Voltage and Frequency Tolerances
IEC 60034-1 standard classifies variations into areas A and B, with different performance expectations.
Options and Configurations
Various options are available, such as insulation class, terminal configurations, and protection degrees, with some options not selectable together.
Mechanical Tolerances
Specifications for shaft extension, flange concentricity, and tapped holes, adhering to IEC 60072-1 standards.
