Electric Motor Supplier Recommendations

[dw3101]

Not specifically the correct forum, but probably the best audience...

Anybody got any suggestions for electric motor suppliers?

Im after a 3hp single phase motor..

Also how does SWA effect voltage drop calculations?

have seen machine marts motors, will probably end up with one of those.. or northen tools, depends if they come with motor protection relays / etc.

Then just have to modify the contol gear from wanting 415v to work with 240v.

And work out voltage drops..

Only problem is that the location is supplied by a 15kva transformer.. hmm wonder what voltage we will see at the motor

Will it or wont it start

log onto the RS website

type in electric motors

all you get are piddly little things like servo motors for automation use

nothing near a 3 Kw motor - sorry 3 hp
