Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between TEBC and TEFC motors?
Totally enclosed blower-cooled (TEBC) motors are virtually identical to TEFC motors with the exception that the motor body is cooled by a separate "blower" positioned on the body rather than by a shaft-mounted fan while the motor is working at a high speed.
What is the purpose of a shaft in a motor?
A shaft is a cylindrical component extruding out from the housing and motor. It converts energy from the motor into end-use applications.
What do you mean by Class B and F insulation?
These motors have Class B or F insulation for temperature control. The Class B insulated motors can handle temperatures up to 130 degrees C and Class F can withstand a maximum temperature of 105 degrees C.
What is the difference between single, double and triple-phase motors?
- Single-phase motor: Current flows through a single conductor.
- Double-phase motor: Current flows through 4-wire conductors (2 for each phase).
- Triple-phase motor: Current flows through 3 separate conductors.
