Frequently Asked Questions
What does 8 pole mean for motor speed?
An 8 pole motor running on a 50 Hz supply has a synchronous speed of 750 rpm, providing higher torque at lower rotational speed compared with 2 or 4 pole motors.
What is B3 mounting?
B3 is an IEC standard mounting configuration where the motor is foot mounted onto a base or frame, commonly used in fixed industrial installations.
Is this motor suitable for continuous operation?
Yes. Motors of this type are typically rated for S1 continuous duty, making them suitable for long running industrial applications.
