I am in the process of replacing my Oneida with Clearview. I am going to buy the CV1800.
I live in Israel, and I am having trouble understanding about the difference between 220 V- 50 cycle(hz) current that we have here, and the 110 V- 60 cycle (hz) that is used in America. I am trying to figure out how many HP the motor I
purchase here should have. It seems that each person I ask has a different bit of info and it has all left me pretty confused.
A colleague here told me that motors sold in Israel are rated by the European Standard, and that therefore if I buy a 3HP motor, that is equivalent to a 5HP motor on the American standard. From my non engineering viewpoint what this means is that American motors are rated no load, and European with load. However, when I asked my motor supplier about this, since he deals with motors made in Australia (European Standard), he could not tell me if this was true.
I do not want to run a 60 cycle motor on 50 cycles. I AM going to purchase the bigger impeller (16"). I have 3 phase power.
The motor I have my eye on is made by CMG Australia, and here are the specs: 3 phase, build (frame type?) B5 (I was told this is a flange type), V5 (is strong enough to hang), K90(?), 3 HP, 3000 RPM,IP55 (?),380V, 50 Hz, insulation F and made of cast iron.
I can get the above motor in 4 HP, with K100 instead of K90, otherwise the same specs, or 5.5 HP with K112 and same specs.
Is 3000 enough RPM?
I want to purchase a motor that will move enough air without overkill. Which should I choose?
Thanks for your suggestions, Amy G
