General Purpose Motors
Our low voltage general purpose motors meet or exceed NEMA® performance factors for optimized performance in a range of commercial and industrial applications. These motors are all UL recognized and CSA certified for safe and reliable operation.
General purpose motors can be found in a wide range of applications and solutions thanks to their versatility within the market and as easy OEM replacement motors.
Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC)
Totally enclosed fan cooled motors are the same as totally enclosed non-ventilated(TENV) motors except they have an external fan as an integral part of the motor to provide cooling by blowing air over the outside frame.
Open Drip Proof (ODP)
Open drip proof motors have venting in the end frame and/or main frame, situated to prevent drops of liquid from falling into the motor within a 15° angle from the vertical. ODP motors are designed for use in areas that are reasonably dry, clean, well-ventilated, and usually indoors. If installed outdoors, ODP motors should be protected with a cover that does not restrict air flow.
Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated (TENV)
Totally enclosed non-ventilated motors are tightly enclosed to prevent the free exchange of air, but are not air tight. TENV motors have no cooling fan and rely on convection for cooling. They are suitable for use where exposed to dirt or dampness, but not for hazardous locations or applications having frequent hose downs.Totally Enclosed Air Over (TEAO)
Totally enclosed air over motors are specifically designed to be used within the airflow of the fan or blower they are driving. This provides an important part of the motor’s cooling.Industries
