YE4 (IE4) Series Three-Phase Induction Motor

Same frames, same mounting and same duty envelope as YE3, one efficiency class higher — IE4 under IEC 60034-30-1, grade 2 under GB 18613—2020.

YE series three-phase induction motor

YE4 is a single-speed, totally enclosed, fan-cooled, continuous-duty low-voltage squirrel-cage induction motor for general industrial use. It reaches grade 2 of GB 18613—2020, corresponding to IE4 in IEC 60034-30-1.

Because the frame and mounting dimensions match YE3, YE4 is normally specified as a straight efficiency upgrade on an existing installation rather than as a redesign.

Standards and certification

  • GB 18613—2020 grade 2
  • IEC 60034-30-1 IE4

Typical applications

  • Machine tools, fans, compressors, conveyors, mixers
  • Printing machinery, agricultural machinery, packaging machinery
  • High-running-hours general drives where the efficiency premium pays back

Selection guide

Long-running constant-speed drives — process fans, circulation pumps, continuous conveyors — where the extra efficiency accumulates into real money over a year of operation.
Frame and mounting dimensions follow the same IEC series, so mechanically it replaces a YE3 of the same rating. Confirm the specific model with technical support before ordering.
At constant speed near rated load, YE4 is usually the lower total cost. Once the duty becomes variable-speed or spends significant time at part load, the permanent magnet advantage widens because it holds efficiency across the load range rather than only near the rated point.

FAQ
