Electric Motors
Overview
Electric Motors
We offer the full range of Challenge Electric Motors in South Africa.
The Challenge range of three-phase electric motors comply with IEC 60034 standards and are available in IE1, IE2 and IE3 efficiencies.
The motors are approved having fan-cooled, high-grade cast aluminum alloy squirrel caged construction, incorporating engineering grade plastic terminal boxes.
All motors have multi-mount feet and thus can achieve numerous mounting positions.
Features
Three-phase motors
• 2, 4, 6 and 8 pole up to 315kW available complying to IEC 60034,
• IEC 60034 specifies energy-efficiency classes for single-speed, three-phase, cage-induction motors
with 2, 4 or 6 poles. It classifies three classes: IE1 (standard), IE2 (high) and IE3 (premium). For each
class the efficiency is defined for a rated output range from 0.75 to 375 kW. In the European Community
the IE2 class is mandatory for all new motors since 16 June 2011. The IE3 class became mandatory
from 1 January 2015
