Two-pole tefc electric motor and an electric motor drive arrangement

A two-pole TEFC (totally enclosed, fan-cooled) electric motor, comprising:

• a housing having an inner space;
• a mounting foot structure radially protruding from the outer surface of the housing for mounting said motor to a planar base structure;
• a stator assembly arranged annularly within the inner space of the housing;
• a motor shaft rotatably supported so as to concentrically extend through the stator assembly, and
• a rotor assembly fixed to and surrounding the motor shaft within the inner space, the rotor assembly being disposed concentrically with and inside the stator assembly,
• wherein the mounting foot structure comprises four mounting points defining corner points of a rectangular mounting footprint of the motor, such that the rectangular mounting foot print has two opposite sides parallel with the motor shaft,
• the mounting foot structure further comprising at least an additional mounting point positioned on each side of the mounting footprint parallel with the motor shaft, between the corner points of the mounting footprint, and
• wherein each of the mounting points are provided as openings, through which the motor is bolt-mountable to the base structure.
