High voltage switch cabinet energy storage motor nameplate

What is a motor nameplate?

The nameplate defines a motor’s basic mechanical design, electrical performance and dimensional parameters. NEMA requires specific data to be included on the nameplate, but manufacturers may choose to include other information to assist in the installation, operation and maintenance of custom motors or those manufactured for specific purposes.

What is an MVS POW-R-drive motor-operated switch?

An MVS Pow-R-Drive motor-operated switch is a standard, manually operated switch in combination with a heavy-duty electric motor-driven linear actuator that charges the spring. The linear actuator is located in a separate isolated low voltage compartment.

What are the characteristics of a motor-operated switch?

The finish shall have the following properties: All motor-operated switches shall consist of a standard manually operated switch in combination with an electric motor driven linear actuator that charges the spring. Connection between the linear actuator and switch mechanism shall be by reliable rigid metal-to-metal linkages; not chains or cables.

What are the IEC and NEMA requirements for a nameplate?

Table 1 has the requirements for IEC and NEMA for AC and DC name-plates. As mentioned before, there are other specifications for specific motor designs. These requirements do not limit what can be included on the nameplate. For instance, many manufacturers include bearing no-menclature.

What does the nameplate of an electric motor tell you?

The nameplate of an electric motor reveals much valuable information about the capability and performance of the machine.

What information should be included on a NEMA nameplate?

NEMA requires specific data to be included on the nameplate, but manufacturers may choose to include other information to assist in the installation, operation and maintenance of custom motors or those manufactured for specific purposes. The style of the nameplate is determined by the manufacturer.
