Degree of protection
The machine construction surrounding the motor must fulfill at least degree of protection IP54 (to EN 60529).
The degree of protection for
In particular, foreign particles in the air gap between the stator and rotor can destroy the motor during operation.
This also applies to corrosive chemicals (e.g. coolants, oil) that could penetrate the motor compartment. Corrosive chemicals can damage the magnetic bonds of the rotor.
Liquids can compromise the insulation resistance of the stator.
The thermal properties of the motor are influenced by the ingress of liquids and foreign particles.
WARNING
Contamination in the motor compartment can cause the motor to stop functioning or cause wear and tear.
