| Type: |
Identifies type of enclosure |
| Serial #: |
The specific motor identification |
| Model #: |
Manufacturer’s identification |
| Frame Size: |
Measurements of the motor |
| Service Factor: |
Common service factor for refr. motor is 1.15,which means the motor may be operated safely without injury to the insulation if it is run at 115% of name plate values for short period of time |
| Amperes: |
Also FLA and RLA means current draw from the motor when it is running at full load |
| LRA: |
Locked rotor amps. The amount of current required to start the rotor turning a full load. Usually 6 x FLA |
| Volts: |
The value of voltage measured at the motor terminals for which the motor is designed |
| Insul: |
The class of insulation used in the winding of the motor. For a class B, the maximum operating temp. is 130 C, class F is 155 C, class H is 180 C |
| RPM: |
Speed of motor when all other plate conditions are met |
| Hertz: |
Freq. Of the power system for which the motor is designed |
| Duty: |
Cycle of operation that the motor can safely operate fully loaded “continuous” means 24 hrs a day “intermediate” will also show a time interval |
| Temp: |
Ambient temp, the max temp of the surrounding air |
| Phase: |
Voltage phase of the power system for which the motor is designed |
| kVA: |
Indicates the locked rotor kVA per horsepower. Uses to determine starting equipment protection |
