General Purpose and Inverter Rated AC Motors
Category Selection
General purpose AC induction motors cover a wide range of applications and are typically controlled by across-the-line starters, i.e. contactors, manual motor starters, etc. All AutomationDirect general purpose 3-phase motors are inverter rated, allowing them to be controlled by AC drives since they can withstand the higher voltage spikes produced by these VFDs.
