Three-phase motors under extreme conditions, IP67

Drive technology expert Menzel Elektromotoren delivers special-purpose solutions, for example, IP67-protected three-phase low and medium voltage motors that are suitable for use in flood-risk areas to European pump manufacturers and various end users. The units are for instance used in water pump stations that are threatened by flooding at a regular basis due to a lack of infrastructure. Thanks to the high protection class with encapsulated, waterproof housings and terminal boxes, the motors can be flooded without water ingress while at a standstill. Once the water recedes, they can be switched back on immediately.

An expert for special drive solutions, Menzel are often faced with very demanding requirements and therefore also offers motors with ingress protection beyond the industry standard IP55.

Low and medium voltage three-phase motors are available with the following increased protection classes:

IP56 (protected against powerful water jets)

IP65 (dust-proof)

IP66 (dust-proof and protected against powerful water jets)

IP67 (protected against occasional immersion).
