Reversible Motors

FHP Reversible Motor or Fractional Horse Power Reversible Motor is a combination of FHP Induction Motor and continuously acting internal friction brake. Spring loaded PTFE bushes acting as internal brake, minimises the overrun of rotor after the electric supply is switched off. FHP single phase Reversible motor requires capacitor to start and run while three phase Reversible motor does not require a capacitor.
The typical no load speed of the AC FHP Reversible Motor at 50Hz supply is 2880 RPM for two pole winding, 1440 RPM for 4 pole winding, 960 RPM for 6 pole winding, 720 RPM for 8 pole winding and so on. By attaching a gearbox of desired ratio, it becomes low RPM Reversible Gear Motor.
