I need help getting information on a 16" South Bend lathe motor. I don't
have the cover plate for the motor so I don't have the specs on it.

I did speak to Leblonde and got this much from them...
General Electric 3 HP, 3 Phase, 460V, Frame is 182T, 1800 RPM. 1 1/8"
Spindle.

Can anyone who has one tell me what the Amperage is?

I just Got the Teco FM-100 VFD and I need to input the amperage into the
codes.

Thanks,


Ted

National Electrical Code lists 3 HP, 3PH Squirrel Cage 460 V. at 4.8
amps.
Locked rotor [stall amps] is rated 27 A.

Keep in mind oftentimes the motor was changed years ago and may not match
what originally left the factory.

Having said that I find the Grainger catalog motor section a good source for
checking motor specs. Just look up 3phase squirrel cage 460v motor and look
for the amp rating.

Full load amperage of a 3 HP, 3-phase, 460 V motor is 4.8 amps.
