 OVERVIEW




AC motors are available in a wide variety of frame sizes, voltages, RPM, and HP. All AC motors we carry are 3-phase induction motors. Many different motor types are available whether your application requires wash down, vector duty, and even ATEX explosion proof motors.


What are AC Motors?

Electric motors account for almost half of the world’s electrical consumption and are an integral part of nearly every single industry worldwide. AC induction motors are used to power a variety of applications including pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers, hoists, crushers, and more. Historically, AC induction motors were designed as fixed speed motors whose base speeds were dependent upon the number of electromagnetic poles and the frequency of AC voltage applied to the motor. Today, the motor’s speed can be controlled using additional devices.


Available Motor Types



ATEX

ATEX motors are classed for areas with explosive atmospheres. Standards for defining ATEX requirements are derived from the European Directive 2014/34/EC. Our WEG ATEX class motors are Ex nA (non-sparking as defined by the IEC) and available in TEFC only up to 340 HP.

Auger Drive

Auger Drive motors are a type of Farm Duty motor. These TEFC motors include an extended shaft (NDE) and are available up to 1.5 HP. Their centrifugal start switch is also protected against auger drive overspeed. Typical applications include auger-based machinery used in material handling and feed delivery.

Brake

Brake motors combine an induction motor with a disc brake. The design ensures long lifespans with minimal maintenance due to few moving parts. Available brake motors are TEFC and range up to 30 HP. Typical applications include transfer, packaging, and cutting machines.

Close-coupled Pump

These motors are a perfect fit for close-coupled pump applications. Options run from 0.5 to 150 HP and feature multiple mounting styles including a rugged C-face mount. Close-coupled pump motors are available in either ODP or TEFC designs. These motors are used in water and wastewater applications.

Close-coupled Pump w/ Internal AEGIS

These motors are the same as other close-coupled pump motors but include an AEGIS shaft grounding ring inside the design. AEGIS grounding rings redirect the additional shaft voltage potentially induced by using an AC drive with a motor. These grounding rings extend the motor's lifespan by protecting the bearings from the additional voltage.

 SELECTING




Correctly sizing your AC motors benefits you and your application in terms of time, energy, and money saved. Consider these important factors when selecting your motor.

Motor Sizing

AC motor sizing requires evaluation of both starting and running torque requirements of the driven load. Once these requirements are determined, an appropriate motor can be selected based upon its specific speed/torque characteristics. Refer to the performance curves of each motor to ensure proper selection.

What are your speed (RPM) requirements?

The speed of the motor is critical in calculating the motor torque and acceleration/deceleration. The goal when selecting a motor is to deliver a load to a desired position at the correct time, and the motor RPM is a crucial aspect of these equations. Motor speed is traditionally determined by the number of poles in the winding (as see on the table) and can be altered by used of some devices such as AC Drives. The RPM of your chosen motor should match the requirements of your load or specifications from the OEM.

Motor RPM

 Number of Poles
Frequency (Hz)2468
50300015001000750
60360018001200900

What is your input voltage?

A variety of AC Motors are available for different input voltage ranges. Many motors can be used with more than one input voltage depending on what is available, and in this case the Full Load Amps pulled by the motor will change based on the voltage being applied.


1 or 3-Phase?

In Alternating Current (AC), phase refers to the wave cycle of the power supplied to the motor. AC induction motors are available in either single-phase or 3-phase. Generally, the choice of whether to use single or 3-phase motors will come down to the available power supply.


What kind of equipment are you running?

You need to know the application to know what motor best fits your needs. Different types of equipment will require different starting torques, speeds, and motor construction. We have a long list of motors designed with specific applications in mind, and the motor purchased for a pool pump can differ from the motor used for a crusher.
