electric motor
 

I'm looking for a 1 or 2 hp electric motor...if you have anything laying around and want to get rid of it let me know...also if you know where I could find a used one let me know..

Single or 3 phase?

What RPM?

Do you need a certin type mounting bracket?

For that size.....guess you are looking for a 220 volt.

we looking for something to run a corn cracker/grinder....its basically a hand grinder for grain with a big pulley....I dont know what phase it would need...its for a friend of mine.. he wants to be able to plug it into a regular receptacle...I guess the biggest size that can be wired to plug into 110volt

I got a 110......gomna have to get back to You On rpm....maybe you can make a pulley system for the grinder

ok cool..thanks Dink

Max size on 110 volts would be about 1 hp.

I don't remember how many amps a 1 hp motor would draw. That would depend on how much load it takes to run the grinder. It might be too much load for the breaker to handle.

The one I have is a 1/4hp.....1725rpm......I don't think that'll turn a cracker

You can get up to a 2hp single phase 110v motor for pools an spa's but there 3450 rpms you would have to sheave it down quite a bit for lower rpms...the water well motors I've worked with on 110 will work a lot harder an pull anywhere from 15-22 amps 220 would make it last longer and start up easier, less load for the starter capaciter an gov points...

Anybody need a couple of 3 phase motors? I got two that don't and likely won't use. They are used but if someone here needed em, I'd be willing to turn em loose.

just talked to my friend...looks like we will need atleast a 3/4 hp to 1hp 1800 rpms, single phase...

check with J & J armature in lake charles, they may have a rebuilt one laying around that they can make a deal on

thanks Shawn......we went to tractor supply in abbeville tonight and bought a new one...1hp farm duty..single phase..1725 rpm.... $173 !!....but I will check out J&J armature...if we can get a cheaper used one , we'll just return the new one...
