2. Environmental and structural parameters
Temperature and altitude:
Standard ambient temperature: -20~40 ℃, installation height ≤ 1000m;
Special adaptation: Low temperature version (-50~40 ℃, D02)、 Medium low temperature version (-40~40 ℃, D03)、 High humidity version (30-60g/m ³, N30; 60-100g/m ³, N31);
Derating coefficient: When the ambient temperature is greater than 40 ℃ or the installation height is greater than 1000m, it is necessary to follow thek HT Reduction, for example:
Installation height (m) Environmental temperature 30 ℃ Environmental temperature 40 ℃ Environmental temperature 45 ℃ Environmental temperature 50 ℃

Self ventilation IC411 standard operating condition 2-8 pole universal, fan rotates with rotor
Forced ventilation IC416 low-speed high load independent drive fan (F70), requires separate power supply
IC418 without external fan/fan cover relies on external airflow for cooling, requiring an external fan to provide airflow of ≥ 1.2m ³/min

Selection and Ordering Guide
1. Six step selection method
Clear requirements: Determine the rated power (kW), speed (rpm), voltage/frequency (e.g. 400V 50Hz), protection level (IP55), and installation structure (IM B3);
Pre selection type: Select sub series (such as 1LE5534 for IE4) based on environmental conditions (temperature>40 ℃ requires derating) and special requirements (anti-corrosion/low temperature);
Model selection: Match the machine base number, pole number, and rated torque from the selection table to determine the basic model (such as 1LE5534-4AB33);
Special version: Select additional options (such as insulated bearing L51, anti condensation heater Q02, terminal box rotating R09);
Confirm dimensions: Check the installation dimensions (such as the base length and flange aperture of IM B3), refer to the "Dimensions" section of the manual;
Supporting frequency converter: If a frequency converter drive is required, refer to Siemens Catalog D11/D18.1 to select the appropriate model.
2. Model coding rules (16 bit structure)
Position 1-7: Motor type (e.g. 1LE5534=IE4 cast iron motor);
Position 8-12: Machine frame number+number of poles+voltage (e.g. 4AB33=400 machine frame+4 poles+400V Δ/690VY);
Position 13-16: Voltage/Structure/Protection/Terminal Box Position (e.g. 4CB2=400V+IM V5+PTC Protection+Terminal Box Left 45 °);
Example: 1LE5534-4AB33-4CB2-Z H00 (IE4 motor, 400 base 4-pole, 400V, IM V5 structure, PTC protection, terminal box left 45 °, with protective cover).
