EMT e-Drive AHE 132M16

The register lists 98 versions in this range with 0.75 to 37 kW, two- to eight-pole, full-load efficiencies from 77.2 to 93.4% and at 75% load from 77 to 93.5%. Frame sizes run from 80 to 200 under IEC, the large majority in the combined protection rating IP55/IP56, occasionally supplemented with IP02 or IP14. Manufacturing is consistently in China, testing followed mostly the 2012 GEMS determinations, a smaller share the 2019 determinations, with test method A. For 29 of the 98 motors the High Efficiency Level 2005 is documented, the remaining 69 reach no classification. The mounting code for the large majority is the broad combination of B3, B5, B14, B34, B35 and the vertical forms V1, V3, V5, V14.

With outputs up to 37 kW and frame sizes up to 200, e-Drive AHE covers the lower to mid power range typical of smaller pumps, fans and conveyor drives in industry and trade; consistent manufacture in China and the uniform range designation point to a closed catalogue programme.

When buying used or replacing, what matters is bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, visible overheating marks on the terminal box and fan cover, the condition of shaft and key, and a legible nameplate with frame size, pole count and efficiency class; for the nearly one-third of motors carrying High Efficiency Level 2005 it is worth checking the nameplate against the actual classification. Spares depend on the distribution channel through which the motor was sourced.
