Availability This item is in stock and ready for immediate dispatch. FAQ Can this motor be operated with a variable frequency drive (VFD)?Yes, this standard asynchronous motor is generally suitable for VFD operation. However, for continuous operation at very low speeds, additional forced cooling might be necessary to prevent overheating. Always ensure the VFD is correctly parameterized for the motor’s specifications (0.55kW, 400V, 1.6A). What does the S4 40% duty cycle rating mean?S4 duty cycle refers to intermittent periodic duty with starting. The ‘40%’ indicates the cyclic duration factor, meaning the motor is designed to operate for 40% of each cycle, with the rest of the time being at rest. The value of 240 c/h means it’s rated for 240 start/stop cycles per hour under these conditions. This is typical for applications with frequent starting and stopping. What is the significance of the IM B3 mounting type?IM B3 is a standard IEC mounting designation for a foot-mounted motor. This means the motor is designed to be installed on a horizontal baseplate, secured by bolts through the feet that are cast as part of the motor frame. It is one of the most common mounting types for general-purpose motors.
