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 °);
