TFVE Motors??
(OP)
Hi all. I am working on a Brazilian project which employs IEC type motors, type TFVE. I tried to get the meaning of TFVE and it sounds to be a totally enclosed motor with external fan. However, my motor is 45kW running at 1200RPM. This motor is operating a vibrating screen.
I have doubts whether this is a motor with an external fan with a separate power source OR a motor with a fan coupled to its shaft.
if somebody has used this type of motor before, I would appreciate if I be guided with my doubts. Thank you.

The fan is mounted onto the motor shaft at the non drive end.

My translator (software) comes up with Totally Enclosed Fan External and/or Totally Enclosed Fan Outside. I did notice that the TVFE designation is associated with an IP 55 enclosure.
Thanks

The best that I can offer is that the motors I've seen in my couple of searches online (for a TVFE) is they appear to be shaft mounted fans as in a TEFC. If I have time I'll try to back-track and furnish some links.
Thanks
