What is Slip ?
To produce torque in an induction motor, current
must flow in the rotor.

To induce current flow in the rotor, the rotor
speed must be slightly slower than the
synchronous speed.

The difference between the synchronous speed
and the rotor speed (rated speed) is called the slip.

Motor Nameplate Data
Understanding the Nameplate
HP- Horsepower
The horsepower
figure stamped on
the nameplate is the
horsepower the
motor is rated to
develop when
connected to a circuit
of the voltage,
frequency and
number of phases
specified on the
motor nameplate.

Rotational Horsepower Formula

HP =
The horsepower formula in simplified form
Torque x RPM
OR
Torque =
5250
HP x 5250
RPM
Where:
Torque - Amount of torque in lb.ft.
RPM - RPM of the motor
5250 - constant obtained by dividing 33,000
by 6.28
Understanding the Nameplate
RPM - Revolutions per Minute
The RPM value represents
the approximate speed at which
the motor will run when properly
connected and delivering its
rated output

Understanding the Nameplate
Voltage
The rated voltage
figure on the motor
nameplate refers to
the voltage of the
supply circuit to
which the motor
should be connected,
to produce rated
horsepower and RPM.

Key piece of information
when selecting an inverter.

High Voltage
Low Voltage

Higher than normal current
Higher than normal motor
temperature


Higher than normal current

Understanding the Nameplate
Phase
The phase figure on
the motor nameplate
describes the
alternating current
system that the motor
has been designed for.

Key piece of information
when selecting an inverter.
Understanding the Nameplate
Hz-Frequency
The frequency figure
on the motor
nameplate describes
the alternating
current system
frequency that must
be applied to the
motor to achieve
rated speed and
horsepower.

Understanding the Nameplate
Amps
The amp figure on
the motor nameplate
represents the
approximate current
draw by the motor
when developing
rated horsepower on
a circuit of the
voltage and
frequency specified
on the nameplate.

Key piece of information
when selecting an inverter.
Understanding the Nameplate
NEMA Design
The NEMA Design
rating specifies the
speed torque curve
that will be produced
by the motor.

Understanding the Nameplate
Insulation Class
The insulation class
letter designates the
amount of allowable
temperature rise
based on the
insulation system
and the motor
service factor.

Insulation Class Information

Most common insulation classes are class B and F

Understanding the Nameplate
S.F. - Service Factor
The number by which
the horsepower rating is
multiplied to determine
the maximum safe load
that a motor may be
expected to carry
continuously


Example - a 10HP motor with a
service factor of 1.15 will
deliver 11.5 horsepower
continuously without exceeding
the allowable temperature rise
of its insulation class
Understanding the Nameplate
Frame
The frame designation
refers to the physical
size of the motor as
well as certain
construction features
such as the shaft and
mounting dimensions.

Open drip-proof
Ventilating openings
permit passage of
external cooling air over
and around the
windings of the motor.
Small degree of
protection against liquid
or solid particles
entering the enclosure.
