What Does The Sticker Mean?

1. Manufacturer

2. Hazardous location classes & groups

3. Frame Size

4. Rated Voltage

5. Rated full-load amps (F.L. Amps)

Represents the amount of current the motor is designed to draw at the rated load and rated voltage.

6. Rated full-load speed ( R.P.M.)

Speed at which full load torque is delivered for the rated voltage and frequency. 

7. Frequency (HZ)

Must match the power system. 

8. Service Factor (Ser.F or S.F.)

Indicates the amount of continuous overload the motor can be expected to handle. 

9. Efficiency ( NEMA NOM. EFF.)

10. Bearings (DE or ODE)

11. Certified Compliant Number
