For "what is YVFE2-280M-6, how to select it, what are its parameters": in short, YVFE2-280M-6 is a LV VFD high-efficiency 3-phase induction motor for flexible speed control from XIMA. It is composed of series YVFE2 + frame 280M + 6 poles. When selecting, verify power, voltage, cooling (IC416 (forced vent.) or IC411), protection (IP55) and efficiency (up to IE4 (VFD duty)), and have the manufacturer confirm the design and factory tests.
1. What is YVFE2-280M-6? How to read the model
YVFE2-280M-6 is a LV VFD high-efficiency 3-phase induction motor for flexible speed control from XIMA. Its model follows "series code + frame center height + poles": YVFE2 is the series (LV variable-frequency drive 3-phase induction motor (high-eff)), 280M is the frame center height (mm), 6 is the pole count (rated speed approx. 980 r/min).
Note: writing only "YVFE2" is just a series name, not a complete model. A real motor model must include the frame and poles, e.g. YVFE2-280M-6 or YE5-90L-6. Within XIMA's catalog, different frames/poles under the same series mean different power and mounting dimensions — always order by the full model.

八、常见问题 FAQ
Q：YVFE2-280M-6 as ordinary motor?
A：Yes, but higher efficiency under VFD; for long constant-frequency use YE series is better.
Q：Why forced ventilation?
A：At low VFD speed self-fan airflow drops; independent blower (IC416) protects winding.
Q：YVFE2 vs YVF2?
A：Energy-saving/high-eff choose YVFE2; general choose YVF2.
Q：Need encoder?
A：High speed/position accuracy (machine tool, winding) — recommend encoder closed-loop.
