2.12.1 Motor selection

2.12.2 Motor and circuit type

General recommendations for motor selection:
• Basically, three-phase AC motors with squirrel-cage rotors and surface-
cooling (also know as three-phase asynchronous motors or standard
motors) can be connected to the output of RAMO5 and RASP5
Rapid Link modules. Other motor types, such as external-rotor motors,
slip-ring motors, reluctance motors, or synchronous or servo motors can
also be connected provided their electrical and connection characteris-
tics are the same as those of asynchronous motors and their manufactu-
rer has approved them for the application.
• Only one motor with at least temperature class F (155 °C maximum
continuous temperature) should be operated on the frequency-controlled
RASP5.
• Four-pole motors should preferably be selected (synchronous speed:
1500 rpm at 50 Hz or 1800 rpm at 60 Hz).
• Operating conditions for S1 operation according to IEC 60034-1.
• The rated current of the motor and RAMO5 or RASP5 should be identical.
The motor's stator winding can be connected in a star or delta circuit as per
the rated operational data on the name plate.

The rated operational current of the motor with 2 A at 400 V requires a
Rapid Link module (RAMO5 or RASP5) with a rated operational current of at
least 2 A.
