FAQ
Q IE3 or IE5?
A
IE3 is EU minimum. IE4: 1-2% savings, 15-20% premium, < 3 yr payback at 4000+ h. IE5 SynRM: 30-50% premium, 5-10% savings, pays off above 1500 h.
Q NEMA vs IEC interchangeable?
A
Frame dimensions, electrical interfaces, shaft ends and insulation classes all differ — not interchangeable. IEC mm/kW; NEMA inch/HP. Germany export → IEC.
Q Ex motor ATEX or IECEx?
A
ATEX mandatory for EU export; IECEx adds global recognition (incl. China NEPSI). Zone 1/2 dual certification is most cost-effective.
