4.2 Fan cover Table 7 - Sound pressure levels for 50Hz motors, tested as per AS 60034.9.
Made of FC-200 cast iron or pressed steel, the fan cover has an
aerodynamic design, which results in a significant reduction of
noise level and optimized air flow for improved heat dissipation
(see figure 18).

4.3 Impact resistance

W22 motors with cast iron fan cover comply with impact level
IK08 – mechanical impact of 5J as per EN 50102 (Degree of
protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment
against external mechanical impacts IK code), ensuring superior
mechanical strength for the most demanding applications.
The noise level figures shown in tables 7 and 8 are taken at no
load. Under load AS 60034.9 standard estimates an increase
in the sound pressure levels as shown in table 9.
