Product Overview
The Shangli YE5 series is a range of low-voltage, three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors designed for general industrial machinery. Its totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) construction combines an enclosed motor housing with an external shaft-driven cooling fan.
The series is designed with an emphasis on energy efficiency, low noise, low vibration and straightforward maintenance. The Shangli catalog specifies IE5 efficiency and Grade 1 efficiency under GB 18613-2020. Model-specific efficiency values and applicable test documentation should be confirmed during selection.
The catalog range covers 0.18–315 kW in frame sizes 80–355, with 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-pole models. YE5 motors can be selected for new equipment or replacement projects where the electrical, mechanical and operating requirements match the selected motor.
Key Features
High-efficiency design: intended to reduce motor losses and support lower operating energy consumption compared with a less efficient motor delivering the same mechanical output.
Three-phase squirrel-cage construction: an induction motor design for a broad range of industrial drive applications.
Totally enclosed fan cooling: an external shaft-driven fan provides cooling during operation.
Multiple power and speed options: 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-pole models accommodate different equipment requirements.
Low-noise and low-vibration design: noise values are listed by model in the performance table for application-specific assessment.
Environmental options: configurations can be specified for humid-tropical, corrosive or high-altitude conditions, subject to technical confirmation.
Technical Specifications

Final electrical ratings, protection degree, insulation class, operating duty and permissible site conditions are subject to the selected motor's approved datasheet and nameplate.
Power Range and Speed Selection
| Number of Poles | Catalog Output Range | Synchronous Speed at 50 Hz |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 0.75–315 kW | 3,000 rpm |
| 4 | 0.55–315 kW | 1,500 rpm |
| 6 | 0.37–250 kW | 1,000 rpm |
| 8 | 0.18–200 kW | 750 rpm |
Synchronous speed is a reference value. The actual rated speed of an induction motor is lower and varies by model and load. Use the selected motor's rated speed, torque and starting characteristics when matching it to the driven equipment.
Typical Applications
YE5 motors are used as drives for industrial equipment where the required power, speed, starting performance and environmental conditions match the motor specification.
Fans and blowers: ventilation and industrial air-handling equipment.
Water pumps: water transfer, circulation and other pumping applications.
Air compressors: compressor drives selected for the required starting torque and operating duty.
Machine tools and gear reducers: mechanical drive systems requiring a three-phase induction motor.
Packaging and washing machinery: production equipment with suitable speed and load requirements.
Construction and mineral-processing equipment: machinery installed in non-hazardous locations.
The standard YE5 series is not an explosion-protected motor. Applications involving explosive gases or combustible dust require a separately selected and appropriately approved motor.
Efficiency and Operating Costs
A motor's efficiency affects the electrical input required to deliver a given shaft output. Selecting a higher-efficiency motor can reduce energy use, particularly on equipment with long annual operating hours.
Actual savings depend on the existing motor's efficiency, operating load, running hours and electricity tariff. Compare motors at the same mechanical output and operating conditions rather than relying on the efficiency class alone.
For project evaluation, request the selected YE5 model's efficiency, rated current, power factor, rated speed and starting-performance data. Where an IE5 requirement is specified, include the required test standard and edition in the enquiry.
Mounting and Overall Dimensions
| Mounting Code | Arrangement | Frame Range Shown in Catalog Drawings |
|---|---|---|
| IM B3 | Foot-mounted | 80–355 |
| IM B5 | Flange-mounted, without feet | 80–280 |
| IM B35 | Foot- and flange-mounted | 80–355 |
Confirm the mounting arrangement for the exact motor model
before ordering. For replacement installations, check the
shaft height, shaft diameter and extension, key dimensions,
foot-hole spacing, flange dimensions, terminal box position
and overall length against the equipment layout.
Model Designation
The catalog uses YE5-160L-2 as the base designation in its model illustration:
YE5: motor series.
160: shaft centre height of 160 mm.
L: long-frame designation.
2: two-pole motor.
Additional suffixes identify environmental configurations. Confirm the complete ordering code and rated output with the selected model's technical data.
Environmental Options
| Code | Catalog Description |
|---|---|
| F1 | Indoor version for moderately corrosive environments |
| F2 | Indoor version for strongly corrosive environments |
| WF1 | Outdoor version for moderately corrosive environments |
| WF2 | Outdoor version for strongly corrosive environments |
| TH | Humid-tropical version |
| G | High-altitude version |
Provide the site temperature, altitude, humidity and corrosion exposure when requesting an environmental variant. The final configuration and any required derating must be confirmed for the application.
