Beyond being the capital, Ankara is a manufacturing hub where machine building, the defence industry and metalworking are concentrated across the Ostim, Ivedik and Sincan industrial zones. For these facilities, AC motors in the IE3 efficiency class stand out on both performance and energy. Below we look at the place of AC and IE3 motors in Ankara's industry.
The Relationship Between AC Motors and IE3
The most common type of AC (alternating current) motor is the three-phase induction motor, while IE3 denotes its efficiency class. So when an Ankara plant says "AC motor" it usually means a three-phase motor, and "IE3" refers to the Premium efficiency level of that motor.
Use in Ostim and Ivedik Industry
Machine workshops, machine-tool drives, pump and fan systems use motors heavily in these zones. These applications are typically met by 4-pole 1500 rpm motors in the 0.55–90 kW range, with IP55 protection suiting the dusty workshop environment.
Energy Saving with IE3
The IE3 (Premium) class under IEC 60034-30-1 lowers the energy bill on workshop and production drives that run long hours. On a continuously running machine tool or pump drive, the efficiency difference becomes clear over time.
DRG Motor Supply to Ankara
DRG Motor supplies three-phase AC motors in the IE3 efficiency class from Izmir to Ankara facilities. By setting power, speed and mounting type to the application, we deliver a fitting solution to businesses in Ostim, Ivedik and Sincan.
