Specification :

Hazardous location AC motors are for use in areas where ignition is possible due to the presence of hazardous vapors or combustible dusts. They come with sturdy enclosures since these AC motors have carbon brushes that produce some sparking requiring the enclosures to be built with thicker walls and longer flanges where the end bells and the frame meet. The additional strength allows the motor’s enclosure to handle the pressure from an internal ignition and prevent flames from spreading. Motors have field wiring that must be completed in a separate or attached wiring compartment that has the same hazardous location class and group standards as the motor. They are commonly used in chemical plants, flour mills, grain elevators, oil refineries, paint shops, petroleum storage areas, and in automotive and manufacturing applications.

Specification :

HVAC AC motors are used in equipment such as fans, blowers, pumps, air conditioners, heaters, and compressors. Direct drive blower and belt drive HVAC AC motors circulate air in roof ventilators and air circulators. Room air conditioner AC motors circulate cool air generated by room air conditioners while water circulator AC motors provide power to hot water circulation pumps. Unit heater AC motors power fans that circulate heat out of the heater and into the room. Draft booster AC motors are used to clear out any lingering combustion gases in gas furnace applications while transformer cooling fan AC motors power fans to cool electrical transformers.

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.

Specification :

Definite-purpose motors are AC motors with mechanical features designed for a specific purpose or application. They are powered by alternating current and require low power to start. The 50 Hz motors are for use on 50 Hz equipment based on European standards. Brake motors hold equipment at a standstill when power is cut to the motor. Instant reverse motors provide instant reversibility with a moderate starting force. Stationary power tool motors operate metalworking and woodworking equipment. Vector (inverter) AC motors provide continuous constant torque performance across an entire speed range. Vibrator motors promote material flow while brushless blowers have a high power-to-weight ratio for hand-held power tools.

Commercial Duty Air Compressor AC Motors

Air compressor AC motors power air compressors that generate compressed air for use with air-powered equipment on jobsites, auto repair shops, and in manufacturing facilities. They have an open dripproof (ODP) enclosure with openings in the endshields and shell placed so drops of liquid falling within 15° from vertical will not affect motor performance.
