Frequently Asked Questions
What does “4 pole” mean for speed?
A 4 pole motor runs at around 1500 rpm on a 50 Hz supply (synchronous speed), making it a common choice for pumps, fans and general machinery requiring steady mid-speed operation.
What does B3 mounting mean?
B3 indicates a foot mounted motor intended to be bolted down to a base or skid. It is the most common IEC mounting arrangement for general industrial installations.
Is this suitable for inverter (VSD) operation?
Yes. This motor type is commonly used with variable speed drives for energy savings and process control. Always confirm your VSD settings, cable screening, and cooling requirements at low speed for the application.
Does it include thermal protection provision?
This range is typically supplied with thermistors terminated in the terminal box, supporting motor temperature monitoring when connected to suitable protection circuitry.
What is the frame size for this model?
The C2---22-4B3 is supplied in D180L frame size, a widely used IEC footprint for 22 kW 4 pole industrial motors.
