- Product Description
YE3 160M 4 Three-Phase Induction Motor — IE3 Efficiency for Industrial Drive Applications
The YE3 160M 4 is a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor built to the IE3 (China Grade 1) energy efficiency standard defined in IEC60034-30. Configured with a 160M frame and 4-pole design, it delivers stable output across a broad range of general industrial drive applications. Rated voltages include 380V, 400V, 415V, and 660V. The motor carries IP55 protection, making it suitable for dusty and moderately wet operating environments where standard IP44 motors may perform poorly.

Replacing Older Y-Series Motors
Many facilities still operate on Y-series or Y2-series motors that consume more electricity and require more frequent maintenance. The product addresses these issues in practical ways:
Challenge | How the YE3 160M 4 Addresses It |
Higher energy consumption | IE3 efficiency class reduces losses compared to Y-series motors |
Overheating under continuous load | High-temperature insulation combined with an improved cooling structure |
Mounting incompatibility during upgrades | Dimensional compatibility with Y and Y2 series — no base modification needed |
Vibration and mechanical stress | High-strength cast iron frame with resistance to impact and vibration |
The 160M frame in 4-pole configuration is rated at 11 kW, a common size for pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyor drives where efficiency improvements have a direct effect on operating costs.
Technical Advantages
The product uses upgraded materials and manufacturing processes that improve on the Y and Y2 generations in several measurable areas.
Energy Efficiency: Meets IE3 / China Grade 1 classification per IEC60034-30. The IE3 standard requires lower electrical losses than the IE2 (Y2-series equivalent) class, which translates to reduced electricity consumption in continuous-duty applications.
Insulation System: Stator windings use Class F insulation materials together with an improved cooling structure, reducing the risk of thermal degradation under sustained load.
Frame Construction: The high-strength cast iron frame provides mechanical rigidity and resistance to vibration, suited to production environments with high-frequency load changes or external mechanical stress.
Bearing Options: SKF, NSK, or FAG bearings can be specified based on your maintenance schedules and spare parts sourcing requirements.
