Compressor Duty Motors

Electrical Motors are electromechanical devices that convert electrical energy to mechanical energy by producing a rotating force (torque) measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) and horsepower (HP). Medium size motors are designed and built to operate at 60 Hz with three phase voltage at 230 volts, 460 volts and 575 volts. These motors are used to drive compressors, pumps, fans, machine tools, conveyers and other processing and materials handling equipment in industrial sectors.

Compressor Duty Motors are designed for general purpose applications where contaminants are minimal. Such applications include: industrial equipment, fans, pumps, blowers, air compressors, conveyors, refrigeration equipment, milling machines and tools. The motors have a 1.15 service factor and meet NEMA standard requirements including 40°C ambient conditions, Class F insulation and IP22 protection. The motors have a capacitor start/capacitor run design. This type of design has two capacitors. One is used at the time of starting and is known as the starting capacitor. The other is used for continuous running of the motor and is known as the run capacitor. This allows the motors to run smoother and have a higher efficiency than other motors.
