It strictly complies with the GB/T 22670 standard (Test Methods for Inverter-fed Three-Phase Cage Induction Motors) and meets the Grade 1 efficiency requirements of GB18613-2020 (IE5 class).

The YE5VF Series is designed specifically for variable frequency drive (VFD) systems. As an IE5 super-premium efficiency three-phase asynchronous motor, it maintains high efficiency across a wide frequency range. It meets the energy-saving demands of variable load equipment such as fans, pumps, and compressors, significantly reducing overall system energy consumption and operating costs.

Key Features

The YE5VF Series is a premium efficiency, low-voltage, three-phase asynchronous motor specifically optimized for variable frequency drive (VFD) systems. It employs a high-efficiency electromagnetic design and a VFD-optimized construction to maintain IE5 efficiency levels across a wide frequency range, delivering over 15% greater energy savings compared to standard variable speed motors. An integrated independent forced cooling system ensures balanced heat dissipation even during low-speed operation. Enhanced insulation and bearing current protection significantly improve durability under inverter power supply. Its optimized electromagnetic design results in lower torque ripple and smoother speed regulation, offering excellent compatibility with VFDs for simplified system commissioning. This motor is ideally suited for industrial applications requiring frequent speed changes, extended low-speed operation, or high starting torque.

Motor Selection Guide and FAQ

Motor Selection Guide
1. Define Basic Parameters
Power & Speed:​ 
Determine the required rated power based on load characteristics and define the motor pole count and speed range according to your equipment’s operational speed.
Voltage & Frequency:​
Confirm your power supply standard (e.g., 380V/50Hz, 480V/60Hz). Custom designs are available for special voltage requirements.
Mounting Type:​
Specify IEC standard mounting (e.g., B3, B5, B14). Custom the flanges & bases are also supported.
2. Consider Operating Environment
Protection Rating (IP):​
IP55 for standard environments. IP65 is recommended for damp or dusty conditions. Hazardous areas require Ex D/Ex E certifications.
Insulation Class:​
Class F (155°C) for general use. Class H (180°C) insulation is advised for high-temperature environments.
Cooling Method:​
Self-ventilated (IC411) for standard applications. Forced air or water cooling is available for enclosed spaces or high-power-density scenarios.
3. Match Load Characteristics
Starting Torque:​
Consider starting torque for fan/pump loads. Verify locked-rotor torque for conveying equipment.
Duty Cycle:​
Standard motors are suitable for continuous operation (S1). Frequent start-stop cycles (S5) require reinforced bearings and insulation.
Efficiency Requirement:​
Select IE3/IE4/IE5 efficiency classes based on annual operating hours. Ultra-premium efficiency (IE5) motors offer the lowest total cost of ownership for long-running applications.
