General Purpose AC Motors

Specification :

General purpose AC motors, also known as induction motors, are electric motors that convert AC power into torque (where torque is the measure of a rotational or twisting force) to drive mechanical loads. They are suitable for powering pumps, blowers, conveyors, and machine tools. Split-phase NEMA frame general purpose AC motors are lower efficiency and have a lower starting torque for a softer startup compared to other AC motors. Capacitor-start NEMA frame general purpose AC motors use a capacitor to provide additional power during startup for higher torque. Capacitor-start/run NEMA frame general purpose AC motors are single-phase motors that use a capacitor to provide additional power during startup for higher torque and a separate capacitor to run with higher operating efficiency. Three phase NEMA frame general purpose AC motors and three phase IEC metric motors operate on efficient three phase power with high torque and don’t require start or run capacitors.

3-Phase IEC Metric General Purpose AC Motors

operate on three-phase AC power and do not require capacitors to start or run and operate with a higher torque and greater efficiency than single-phase models of the same HP, rpm, and frame size.

3-Phase NEMA Frame General Purpose AC Motors

Three-phase NEMA frame general purpose AC motors don't require starting capacitors, run capacitors, or centrifugal starting switches that can wear out and fail.
