Product Description

The MAF160C-0150-FQ-C0-EH0-05-N1 is a high-performing squirrel cage asynchronous motor that requires alternating current (AC) electricity to provide usable mechanical output. For asynchronous motors, the rotor speed is slightly lower than the synchronous speed, which is a function of the system frequency and the number of pole pairs. Asynchronous motors, also called induction motors, convert electrical energy in the form of torque as the rotor tries to match the rotating magnetic field of the stator. Asynchronous AC generators work the same way, but in reverse. The MAF160C-0150-FQ-C0-EH0-05-N1 has a nameplate speed of 1500 rpm, an average current of 109.5 A, and a nominal torque rating of 300 Nm.

When the MAF160C-0150-FQ-C0-EH0-05-N1 has just been connected to a power supply, its torque and current exhibit a different behavior than expected. This deviation from the full-load rating is known as the standstill value. The standstill values for this motor are 310 Nm and 111.9 amperes, which are both higher than their corresponding rated values. These values represent the estimated transient current or torque that the motor experiences during the starting period. The standstill values are generally higher because the motor requires higher power and torque during starting to overcome the initial resistance of the stationary rotor.

The MAF160C-0150-FQ-C0-EH0-05-N1 requires at least 35 sq. mm of power wire cross-section to deliver high currents even during standstill or starting conditions. Since the MAF160C-0150-FQ-C0-EH0-05-N1 has no blocking brake, the total moment of inertia of the motor is equal to the rotor's moment of inertia, 0.26 kg(m^2). Considering that the motor is large, relatively higher force is needed to rotate the shaft. Based on its table of specifications, the MAF160C-0150-FQ-C0-EH0-05-N1 has a high torque constant of 3.37 Nm/A.
