Mechanical Components
1. Drive Motor
Drive motor is 4 pole with low RPM (1750). This motor
is also capable of variable speed drive as a standard fea-
ture. The motor is 12 lead, Y delta soft starting for low
amp draw. Overload protection is installed for safety.
Normal electric current can fluctuate slightly for various
reasons but if the current spikes, the overload protec-
tion will cause the motor(s) to stop. If this happens,
the motors must be reset manually.
Some reasons for overload protection:
a) Operator error: Improper regulation of air ex-
haust pressure or other parts of the system.
b) Mechanical failures:
