Position of motor terminal box and cable entry

The standard IEC 60034-1 specifies the following designations for the motor terminal box positions:

• As viewed onto the output shaft = A-side.
• Designation as R (right), B (bottom), L (left) and T (top).

Deviating from this standard, in case of gearmotors the position of the motor terminal box is specified with 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270° as viewed onto the fan guard = B-side.

The following figure shows both designations. Where the mounting position of the motor changes, R, B, L, and T are rotated accordingly.

The cable entry position is specified with X, 1, 2, 3.

Without specific information regarding the terminal box, the design 0° with cable entry "X" (designation "normal" in quotation and order confirmation) is delivered.

For motors up to size 63, the terminal box is cast onto the stator. The cable entry is therefore fixed at position "X" and "2".

The position of the terminal box is not given on the nameplate.
