Motor-thermal protection

[Sunnyboy]

I’m trying to figure out if this motor is thermally protected. The manufacturer is saying it is thermally protected at 160°C. Everything I can find online is referencing the marking “Prot 160C” as the indication that it is in fact thermally protected. Internal to the motor and monitoring actual temperature rather than current. It’s a European motor and I thought maybe it’s the norm there or something. Is that correct? Any other people with experiences with this? Thanks

Pretty sure that’s the motors insulation class/thermal tolerance basically temps it can withstand overtime without damaging the motor , pretty sure thermal protection is usually marked “TP”
But its a European motor and “Prot 160c” could very well mean its thermal protection shuts it down when its operating temp hits 160c

I misspoke in my previous comment I didn’t not see the 155 for class F in the upper left hand corner of nameplate and after looking online just like you I’ve found that prot 160c should mean thermal protection but can’t verify
