Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled Motor

This is a special requirement and shall not be covered in this specification.

Totally enclosed fan cooled motor.

A benefit to having the motor totally enclosed is that it s protected from the outside environment including dust airborne contaminants and many weather disturbances such as wind driven rain. For technical drawings and 3 d models click on a part number. On the other hand a totally enclosed fan cooled or tefc motor has a closed off chamber which requires the use of an external fan to blow air over it. These motors rely on voltage to change speeds.

Well the answer is simply the motor is totally enclosed and non ventilated. Are there hazardous gases vapors or dust in the air as a result of your manufacturing process. The motor is being cooled unassisted natural convection cooling. An external fan blows outside air over the frame of the motor to cool it.

Motor supplies are used to repair and maintain motors improve their efficiency mount them in place and adapt. This enclosure is similar to tefc but does not have its own cooling fan rather it sits in an airstream such as in a. Tefc totally enclosed fan cooled motors have an external fan that blows air over the outside housing for cooling. There are two primary motor types that we use on americraft fans tefc totally enclosed fan cooled and hazardous location explosion proof motors.

The air inside the motor recirculates and is cooled by heat transfer through the frame. A totally enclosed fan cooled tefc electric motor is a type of industrial electric motor with an enclosure that does not permit outside air to freely circulate through the interior of the motor. Totally enclosed fan cooled motors. Torque 460v ac.

Totally enclosed fan cooled nema horizontal motors can be certified for use in a division 2 location by either the motor manufacturer in accordance with the national electric code article 500 nfpa 70 or by csa in accordance with the canadian electrical code. This enclosure type has an external fan which blows air across the motor frame s external cooling fins. Commercial motors and industrial motors are designed to keep specific systems and equipment running including residential hvac systems farm equipment pumps and vacuum systems. The motor selection is based on the environment in which the fan will operate.

Dc motors produce high starting torque and power to drive equipment such as conveyor belts elevators cranes and hoists. They use permanent magnets or electromagnetic windings to convert direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. Full load current a. This motor is arguably the most commonly used motor in ordinary industrial environments.
