Frequently Asked Questions
What speed does an 8 pole motor run at?
An 8 pole motor operates at approximately 750 rpm on a 50 Hz supply, delivering higher torque at lower speed compared to 2 or 4 pole motors.
What does B3 mounting mean?
B3 indicates a foot mounted motor designed to be bolted directly to a base or structural frame.
Is this motor suitable for inverter duty operation?
Yes. When correctly configured, C2 series motors can be used with variable speed drives for enhanced control and efficiency.
Why choose an 8 pole motor?
8 pole motors are selected where low operating speed and higher torque are required without using gear reduction.
