Notes when buying 3-Phase Electric Motor Over 3.7kW
Voltage & wiring: Prioritize choosing types with 380V/660V (Δ/Y) specifications to enable the Star – Delta starting method, helping to reduce starting current and avoid voltage drops in the workshop grid.
Mounting type & dimensions: Clearly define whether the mounting type is Foot mount (B3) or Flange mount (B5, B35). For the 3.7kW (4-pole) type, the standard frame size is usually 112M with a 28mm shaft diameter (measure and compare if replacing an old machine).
Protection class & heat resistance: Choose dust/water resistance standards from IP55 upwards and Class F insulation to ensure the motor operates durably and safely in hot, humid, and dusty industrial environments.
Energy efficiency: It is recommended to choose motors meeting IE2 or IE3 standards to save energy consumption and optimize long-term operating costs for the business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do motors over 3.7kW connected to a 3-phase 380V grid have to be connected in Delta (Δ) and is it okay if they are mistakenly connected in Star (Y)?
Because motors over 3.7kW in Vietnam usually have 380V/660V (Δ/Y) specifications, meaning the winding reaches rated power at 380V when connected in Delta (Δ). If you mistakenly connect it in Star (Y), the motor will only receive a fraction of the voltage, leading to severe underloading (reaching only about 1/3 of the capacity), and running for a long time will cause overheating and burnout due to overload.
Why do large motors over 3.7kW often cause grid voltage drops upon starting and what are the solutions?
When starting directly, the current of a large motor will spike 5 to 7 times the rated current, causing local voltage drops and tripping protection devices. The solution is to use a Star – Delta starting circuit (running in Star for a few seconds to reduce current before switching to Delta) or install a Soft Starter / Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) so the motor accelerates gradually, protecting the workshop power grid.
What are the regulations for the periodic bearing maintenance procedure for these large motor lines?
Large motors are subject to very high loads and centrifugal forces. You need to pump heat-resistant grease periodically after every 2000 – 3000 running hours through the grease nipple attached to the shaft end connection cover (no need to disassemble the machine). Absolutely do not let the bearings run dry, because when the bearings are worn, it will cause shaft play, causing the rotor to rub against the stator and completely burn out the motor.
