Used AC Synchronous Motor
Used AC Synchronous Motor
(OP)
Hello,
Does anyone know of a company that sells used motors? I am in the market for a 15-25hp 460V AC Synchronous Motor.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

You might look at the educational establishments and see if anyone is scrapping a teaching machine. Many universities in the UK are hellbent on scrapping their under-utilised and capital-intensive electrical machines labs in the rush to cram in as many kids as possible. No wonder modern grads know nothing about machine theory! Not sure if your country has the same malaise?

Note: Standard motor voltages in NEMA land are a multiple of 115V, 115V, 230V,460V, 575V.
Standard system or supply voltages in NEMA land are multiples of 120V, 120V, 240V, 480V, 600V. The 4.2% difference is a voltage drop allowance.

OP asked for 15-25 hp synch motors, which are rare to find. What you refer may selsyns for position controls, my $0.03.

Bill's suggestion of checking into reconnecting your existing motor is the best solution. Even if it can't be reconnected you'll probably find it quicker and easier to get it rewound than finding another one.

Have a motor shop reconnect the coil groups.
Have a motor shop rewind the motor.
Buy a transformer.
Find a suitable motor or generator.
