Wannan lists both 75 kW two-pole and four-pole motors in frame 280S, but their B3 shaft diameters are different. Their starting-current ratios also remain high despite their published efficiency. For a replacement pump or fan drive, settle speed, coupling and starting capacity before comparing the energy figures.
Model ratings are at 380 V, 50 Hz; dimensions below are from the B3 foot-mounted drawing. They are not flange dimensions.
| Selection detail | YE5-280S-2 | YE5-280S-4 |
|---|---|---|
| Rated speed | 2,985 rpm | 1,495 rpm |
| Rated current | 133 A | 135 A |
| Published efficiency | 96.5% | 96.7% |
| Shaft diameter D | 65 mm | 75 mm |
| Shaft extension E | 140 mm | 140 mm |
| Key width F | 18 mm | 20 mm |
| Foot-hole spacing A × B | 457 × 368 mm | 457 × 368 mm |
| Overall length L | 1,080 mm | 1,080 mm |
Multiplying the catalogue locked-rotor current ratio by rated current gives approximately 1,131 A for YE5-280S-2 and 1,148 A for YE5-280S-4. These are arithmetic estimates from the published ratios at the table conditions, not a measured site-start result. Check source impedance, protective devices and the intended starting method before reusing a starter or specifying a generator.
Both 75 kW rows list locked-rotor torque at 1.8 times rated torque and maximum torque at 2.3 times rated torque. Neither ratio describes acceleration time or the full torque–speed curve. Compare the driven equipment’s load and inertia with the motor starting data; do not infer that an efficiency upgrade alone solves a loaded-start problem.
The table’s 96.5% and 96.7% values refer to different pole-count versions. They are not a savings comparison for the same-speed retrofit. Compare the selected speed and load point with the old motor’s performance, operating hours and tariff. The catalogue markets the range at a high efficiency class, but an order requiring certified efficiency needs documentation for the exact model and applicable test method.
For the 280S example, matching 457 × 368 mm feet and 1,080 mm overall length does not remove the 65/75 mm shaft difference. Check the coupling bore and key, shaft height, guards and alignment as a complete assembly. Changing from two poles to four poles also approximately halves speed; it is not a same-duty substitution for a pump or fan.
The mounting availability table lists B3, B35 and V1 for frames 315–355, while B5 is not marked as a conventional option there. B14/B34 are shown for the smaller 63–112 group but not the larger groups. Select from the actual frame and mounting combination, then use its own dimension sheet rather than scaling a smaller-frame flange.
The catalogue notes a right-side terminal box as standard unless otherwise agreed. Specify the required position in the order if cable entry or a nearby pipe obstructs it. The overview lists S1 continuous duty, IC411 cooling, class F insulation and IP55 protection; the installed fan ventilation and selected electrical configuration still need to suit the machine’s environment.
CATALOGUE OVERVIEW
Wannan’s YE5 three-phase induction family is published with output ratings from 0.75 to 375 kW and frame sizes 80–355. The collected source states 380 V / 50 Hz, IC411 cooling, IP55 protection and class F insulation, with 2, 4, 6 and 8 pole versions listed. The catalogue presents the series as a high-efficiency industrial motor range. Verify the selected model’s rated speed, mounting and efficiency documentation; the family range does not establish every possible configuration.
Specifications describe a series range; confirm which ratings apply together to the quoted model.
Confirm mounting and shaft dimensions against the drawing for the quoted configuration.
