Key Features

The YKK Series high-voltage motors feature a proven CACA (Closed Air-Circuit Air-Cooled) enclosure design. Equipped with a closed-circuit air cooling system, they effectively isolate external dust and moisture, making them particularly suitable for harsh industrial environments. With rated voltages of 6 kV and 10 kV, and a power range from 250 kW to 4,000 kW, these motors utilize an optimized electromagnetic design and reinforced insulation. This approach achieves excellent energy efficiency while significantly improving operational stability and service life. Their modular design and ease of maintenance make them an ideal power source for critical equipment such as large fans, pumps, and compressors.
Efficient Cooling Design:​ The CACA enclosure system enables efficient heat dissipation via internal air ducts and an external cooler, while effectively preventing contaminants like dust and moisture from entering the motor interior, ensuring long-term reliable operation.
Cost-Effective Operation:​ Meets the GB30254 Grade 3 efficiency standard (IE3 class). The optimized electromagnetic design maintains high efficiency across a wide operating range, achieving 5%–10% energy savings compared to traditional high-voltage motors and significantly reducing long-term operating costs.
Enhanced Environmental Durability:​ Features special sealing and surface treatment processes. The welded high-strength steel housing provides a high protection rating, ensuring long-term reliable operation in complex, dusty, and humid industrial environments.
Convenient Maintenance:​ Key components feature a modular design, supporting quick inspection and replacement. The spacious interior of the CACA enclosure facilitates easier access, reducing maintenance costs and improving equipment availability.
Excellent Starting Performance:​ Offers high starting torque, strong overload capacity, and fast dynamic response, making it particularly suitable for applications like fans, pumps, and compressors that require frequent speed adjustment and heavy-duty starts.

Technical Specifications

Power Range:​ The YKK Series covers a rated power range from 250 kW to 4,000 kW. Its flexible power configuration caters to diverse drive requirements, from mid-sized equipment to large industrial installations, making it suitable for various large-scale machinery in industries such as power generation, metallurgy, mining, cement, and chemical processing.
Rated Voltage:​ Compatible with two industrial voltage levels: 6 kV and 10 kV. This aligns with mainstream high-voltage grid standards domestically and internationally, facilitating equipment matching and system integration while reducing retrofit costs. It is particularly well-suited for high-voltage applications such as large fans, pumps, and compressors.
Efficiency Class:​ Meets the GB30254 Grade 3 energy efficiency standard (IE3 class). Utilizing an optimized electromagnetic design and low-loss materials, it maintains high efficiency across a wide operating range, achieving 5%–10% energy savings compared to traditional high-voltage motors and significantly reducing long-term operating energy consumption.
Power Factor:​ Delivers a power factor of 0.85–0.90. This near-unity power factor significantly reduces reactive power losses, alleviates grid burden, improves power supply quality, and minimizes line losses. It is especially advantageous for applications with long-distance power supply, such as in mining and metallurgy.
Protection Level:​ Designed with IP54/IP55 protection ratings. Its totally enclosed structure effectively resists dust and water ingress, ensuring long-term, reliable operation in harsh industrial environments characterized by moisture and dust, thereby meeting the demanding requirements of such conditions.

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.
