Good Evening ,
I am using Inverter Duty Washdown Motors for the first time for a small project. How different are they ? It is a 5 hp and normally the FLA is 7.6 amps. The 5 hp is connected to a SEW Gearbox , and has a die connected to the gearbox. At the moment the motor is drawing 4.2 amps , and still does not have product on it.
Do Inverter Duty Motors run hotter ? I had the motors running for about 2 hours with really no load , and they seem very hot. It is a Baldor and on the name plate it shows Mag. Current at 230 VAC is 7 and at 460 VAC is 3.5 . What does Mag Current mean ? Also , on the nameplate is the FLA and for 230 VAC 13.4 and for 460 VAC is 6.7 amps.
Thanks so much in advance for your helpful information ,
