Fact Sheet

GE sets the standard...
Superior Performance
The X$D IEC meets or exceeds IE2 Nominal
efficiencies.
Overall vibration is 1.6 mm/sec. (0.063 in. per second). This
helps to extend the life of the motor and the connected
equipment.
Total shaft runout is 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) for shaft diameters
u
p to 41 mm and 0.038 mm (0.0015 in.) for shaft diameters
greater than 41 mm for ball bearing machines.
GEGARD2400™ insulation systems features Class H
insulation
materials. This system increases motor protection
against IGBT
drive voltage spikes that typically can reach
2,400 volts @ 0.1 microsecond rise time, which exceeds
NEMA MG1-31 standards.
Bearings
GE’s Bearing System assures the maximum possible bearing
life when combined with a maintenance program. For optimum
performance, the same over-sized bearing is used on both
ends of the motor.
A steel-reinforced recessed slinger is integrated to both the
drive-end and opposite drive-end ensuring IP55 protection
.
Fully charged lubrication system with a temperature-resistant
polyurea grease suitable for a wide temperature range
(-40°C
to +130°C).
An oversized single-shielded bearing is open towards the
grease cavity for maximum lubricant circulation.
130,000 hours minimum bearing life for direct-drive loads,
and 26,280 hours for L10 belt-driven loads.
A gasketed cast-iron inner bearing cap retains lubricant and
protects the bearing system and interior of the motor from
contaminants.
Finned endshield for improved heat dissipation and long
bearing life (200-280 frame)
Proven Reliability
For years severe duty motors from GE have proven their
performance and reliability in the most demanding process
industry environments.
A one-year warranty comes standard with every X$D IEC
motor. (12 months operational/18 months maximum from
s
hipment.)
Cast-in vibration pads provide five-point vibration probe
mounting (four radial, one axial).
Rugged cast iron frame, conduit box, endshields, and fan cover.
Inverter Duty Application
The GEGARD2400™ insulation system exceeds
the NEMA MG1-31 specifications
and the
requirements of the
IEC 60034-17
and
60034-18-41
standards. It has the ability to withstand repeated 0.1 microsecond
rise time that typically can reach 2400 volt spikes for up to 575
line voltages.
Infinite:1 variable torque speed range and 10:1 constant
torque* speed range available on request.
* Some exceptions apply to constant torque speed ranges. Contact
GE Energy to verify capability on specific ratings.
All motors are tested to verify the Corona Inception Voltage
(CIV) at the factory before shipment.
