General Purpose and Inverter Rated AC Motors
Category Selection
General purpose AC induction motors cover a wide range of applications and are typically controlled by across-the-line starters, i.e. contactors, manual motor starters, etc. All AutomationDirect general purpose 3-phase motors are inverter rated, allowing them to be controlled by AC drives since they can withstand the higher voltage spikes produced by these VFDs.
- Sizes from fractional horsepower up to 300hp, depending on series
- Popular and well-trusted models from Marathon, WEG, and IronHorse brands
- Enclosure styles/ratings may include totally enclosed (TEFC); hazardous location rated
