5.2.8

Drain condensate

In the bearing shields at the DE and NDE, water drain holes are situated in the foot area and
opposite the regreasing system. They are designed as follows:
● IP23 degree of protection: Water drain holes open
● IP54 / IP55 degree of protection: Water drain holes sealed with plastic plugs
Where drain holes in the foot area are sealed, it can be useful to remove the appropriate screws
or plugs depending on the ambient and operational conditions.
Note
Degree of protection for motors with IP54 and better
Removing the plastic plug or the plug screw from motors with IP54 or better nominally lowers
the degree of protection to IP44.
