YKS355-4 is a high-performance HV Air-Water Cooled Squirrel-Cage Motor built by the manufacturer, rated approx. 280 kW, voltage 6kV / 10kV, synchronous speed 1500 r/min, protection IP54, efficiency IE3 / IE4. This guide covers model meaning, specifications, applications and ordering.
Many buyers treat “YKS” as a full model — a common mistake. The series code is only a product family; a complete motor model must include the frame size and pole count. For YKS355-4:
Only YKS355-4 is the unique, orderable model; “YKS” alone cannot pin down the spec.

Q: What is the difference between “YKS” and YKS355-4?
A: “YKS” is only the HV Air-Water Cooled Squirrel-Cage Motor family code; YKS355-4 adds frame and poles and is the orderable spec.
Q: What is the rated power of YKS355-4?
A: Estimated approx. 280 kW (6kV / 10kV); final value per datasheet and order confirmation.
Q: Is frame 355 large? Any mounting notes?
A: 355 mm is a medium-large frame; bolt pattern per IMB3, foundation must be leveled, on-site guidance recommended.
Q: What is the protection / Ex level?
A: Protection IP54; for hazardous areas confirm the Ex mark and gas group.
Q: Why does efficiency IE3 / IE4 matter?
A: Higher efficiency cuts running cost and heat, ideal for continuous duty with short payback.
Q: How is YKS355-4 cooled?
A: Cooling IC81W; keep cooling water/air path clear under full load.
Q: Can it be customized?
A: Yes — voltage, speed, shaft, mounting, sensors and coating; state requirements at order.
