The brake motors have ISR (Inverter Spike Resistant) magnet wire and are inverter ready. They are designed to provide a 20:1 constant torque speed range when used with an adjustable-speed drive. The long-life spring set brake mounts opposite the drive end providing a NEMA-standard foot-mount spacing (BA), allowing drop-in replacement for standard motors, and easy conversion to a C-face mounting. Brake coils connect inside the motor conduit box allowing separate connections when used with adjustable-speed drives. The motors carry either 230 or 460-V ratings from 1 to 30 hp at 1,780 rpm with either TENV or TEFC enclosures. A 5-hp washdown brake motor is available for areas where high-pressure cleaning fluids are used.
