Description

3.1

Area of application

The rotating electrical motors of this series are used as industrial drives. They are designed
for a wide range of drive applications both for line operation as well as in conjunction with
frequency converters.
They are characterized by their high power density, extreme robustness, long service life
and outstanding reliability.
Intended use of the machines
These machines are intended for industrial installations. They comply with the harmonized
standards of the series EN / IEC 60034 (VDE 0530). It is prohibited to use these motors in
hazardous zones if the marking on the motor rating plate does not explicitly permit line or
converter operation. If other/more wide-ranging demands (e.g. protection so that they cannot
be touched by children) are made in special cases – i.e. use in non-industrial installations –
these conditions must be ensured by the customer.
Note
Machine directive
Low-voltage motors are components designed for installation in machines in accordance
with the current Machinery Directive. Commissioning is prohibited until it has been absolutely
identified that the end product is in conformance with this Directive. Please observe the
EN / IEC 60204-1 standard.
Use of machines without CE marking
Machines without CE marking are intended for operation outside the European Economic
Area (EEA). Do not use any machines without a CE marking in the EEA!
Note
IE2 marking
Since January 1, 2017, according to REGULATION (EC) No. 640/2009, low-voltage motors
with power ratings above 0.75 kW up to 375 kW – and with efficiency IE2 – have this label.
This is mandatory within the European Economic Area (EEA). Customers are solely
responsible in ensuring the correct use.
When connecting the machine to a converter, carefully observe the rules and notes in
Chapter "Connecting a converter."
