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.
