5.5kW 2 Pole IE3 (3000rpm) Teco AC Motor, IE3, B5 Flange Mounted, Aluminium, Frame D132S
MPN: I2----5-2B5
Alt. SKU: I252B5
Why Choose the TECO I2----5-2B5 Micro AC Inverter Drive?
The TECO I2----5-2B5 is a compact micro variable frequency drive designed to deliver efficient speed and torque control for three phase induction motors in light industrial, HVAC and OEM applications. As part of the TECO I2 drive family, it combines straightforward V/F motor control, essential protections and flexible I/O in a space-efficient panel mount chassis.
The 2B5 suffix indicates a 200 V class, three phase input variant typical of many I2 drives. This model is generally rated around 0.55 kW (≈ 0.75 HP), making it ideal for smaller motor loads where efficient control and compact size are priorities.
How It Works
The I2----5-2B5 uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) to convert fixed-frequency AC mains into a variable voltage, variable frequency three phase output. By maintaining a proportional voltage-to-frequency ratio (V/F control), the drive regulates motor speed smoothly across a wide range while helping limit inrush current and improve energy efficiency.
The inverter also manages electronic acceleration and deceleration ramps, reducing mechanical stress on driven equipment compared with direct-on-line starting methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 2B5 suffix mean?
The 2B5 designation indicates a 200 V class, three phase input configuration within the TECO I2 micro drive series.
Does this drive support advanced vector control?
The I2 series typically offers V/F control; advanced sensorless or closed-loop vector modes are more common in higher-end TECO drive families.
Can this drive improve energy efficiency?
Yes. By regulating motor speed according to load requirements, the inverter reduces wasted energy under partial load conditions compared with fixed-speed operation.
Is this suitable for panel mounting?
Yes. The IP20 chassis is designed for installation inside electrical control cabinets and OEM panels.
