Information on Electric Motor Nameplate

 



Frame size – not all motors will say its frame size but often in the “type” it will say. This motor for instance MMG132S is a 132 frame motor. Which is 132mm from the centre of the shaft to the ground. Frame size is important because it tells you what size the shaft is and the motor height (providing its a standard motor that hasnt been modified)

Speed (rpm) – motor speed is obviously important information.

HP or kW – this is the power of the motor. 1Hp = 0.75Kw (750 Watts)

Power (phases) – Is the motor single phase AC, 3 phase AC or is it DC

Voltage, Hz and Amps – This information usually isnt that important unless its a special motor i.e. 400hz or 220V 3 phase

Duty - You will also be asked what the motor is being used for. This is to make sure the correct type of motor is being supplied. The DUTY may also be requested.
