1329RSZA00518BBC

The 1329RSZA00518BBC motor is an inverter duty AC motor specifically designed and constructed for applications where Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are used for controlling the motor’s speed, torque, and direction of rotation.  There is no need for bulky gearboxes or any other inefficient mechanical means to control the rpm of a 1329RSZA00518BBC motor. The users can power it directly from an AC drive and adjust the velocity to the required setting, and there will be no corona effect or reflected wave phenomena in the system that could damage the system. Inverter duty AC motors like the 1329RSZA00518BBC motor are capable of running at very low speeds without overheating because the windings and insulation are made out of state-of-the-art high-temperature/high-current resistant materials that are specifically engineered for that purpose. Another advantage of the 1329RSZA00518BBC motor is its capacity to withstand the high voltage spikes generated in the DC Bus of the inverter section of the VFDs as a result of using insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) for Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).

Even tough inverter duty AC motors like the 1329RSZA00518BBC motors are generally more expensive than the traditional general-purpose motors. In applications where it is absolutely necessary to use VFDs, the competitive advantages of this type of motor cannot be underestimated: Easier deployment and simplified installation without the need to install costly additional equipment such as line reactors and mechanical gearboxes can substantially compensate for the higher cost of the motor by providing overall cost savings when the system is considered as a whole. This motor has reduced energy consumption when compared to equivalent general purpose motors.
