Drip-Proof Induction Motor Efficiencies

Electric Motors, Generators and Drives

This table defines the nominal efficiencies for open drip-proof induction motors that ar rate at 600 V or less.

An AC induction or asynchronous motor is an electric motor where the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding.
