Inverter Duty Motors
Industrial electric motors are available for most general purpose applications and processes. However, some AC variable speed applications require constant torque at zero speed. Inverter/vector motors are designed specifically for adjustable speed applications in a standard NEMA frame motor. Additionally, AC inverter/vector motors can be run across the line for bypass operation and can deliver a 1000:1 speed range in a standard TENV or TEBC enclosure.
