DRG IE5 Series Electric Motors

The DRG IE5 series are three-phase asynchronous electric motors built to the IEC 60034-30-1 Ultra Premium Efficiency (IE5) class – today's highest efficiency class – covering 0.55 to 355 kW. With 8–9% higher efficiency than IE3 and 3–4% over IE4, full inverter (VFD) compatibility and stock availability, it is a future-ready solution.

Noise, Vibration and Thermal Balance

Noise levels (dB(A)):

Power rangeSpeedNoise levelTest standard
0.55 – 7.5 kW1500 rpm52 – 57 dB(A)EN 60034-9
11 – 55 kW1500 rpm57 – 62 dB(A)EN 60034-9
75 – 200 kW1500 rpm62 – 68 dB(A)EN 60034-9
250 – 355 kW1500 rpm68 – 70 dB(A)EN 60034-9

The aerodynamic fan and the vibration-absorbing cast body keep the sound level below 70 dB(A).

Vibration levels (RMS velocity – mm/s):
