4.1
Motor with External fan Cooling –
Most totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) and open
ventilated 3-phase AC induction motors will overheat if used beyond a limited speed range at
full torque. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce motor load as speed is decreased.
Note:
Some fan-cooled motors can be used over a wider speed range. Consult the motor
manufacturer for details.
WARnInG!
Some motors have low speed characteristics which cause overheating and
winding failure under light load or no load conditions. If the motor is operated in this
manner for an extended period of time, it is recommended that the unloaded motor current be
checked from 2–15 Hz (60 – 450 RPM) to ensure motor current does not exceed the name-
plate rating.
Do not use motor if the motor current exceeds the nameplate rating.
