CAST IRON SERIES

Crane Motors

“ELCEN” brand crane duty motors are specially designed for frequent starts / stops & reversing required in cranes & lifts of all types. They can also be used in applications such as material handling weirs & sluices auxiliary motors in rolling mills or wherever intermittent drives are required.

Construction

Castings:  “ELCEN” crane duty motor’s housings & endshields are made from high quality castings as per IS: 210. All components are machined to correct accuracy & alignment.

Terminal Box:  Standard location of terminal box is on box is on top. However the terminal box on right or left side can be provided on request. The terminal box can be rotated in steps of 90º in each position. Motors up to 250 frames have aluminum boxes whereas frames 280 & 315 are with cast iron terminal boxes.

Winding & Protection:  All motors are wound with super enameled dual coast copper wires. This enable motors to be used for inverter applications as well. Features like vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) & PTC thermistors embedded in stator winding can be provided on request.

Stampings:  Stampings are made from low loss high permeability steel.

Earthing Terminals:  Two earthing terminals are provided one in the terminal box & other on the motor body.

Anti-condensation Heater:  To avaid moisture accumulation accumulation inside the motor, the motor windings can be heated by connecting 4-10% of rated voltage to the motor terminals. This will generate enough heat equivalent to 20-25% of rated current. Alternatively any method as described in IS:900 can be used. Motor can also be offered with space heaters on request for frames 100 & above.
