(OP)
I have a dough mixer. The motor burnt out. The motor is rated -1.5hp 1400rpm single phase, 220v perm capacitor . The name plate reads 1.6 amps.IP44.
I want to replace the motor. Should i use Cap Start Cap Run motor or should i just stick to the original permanent cap motor. This is a large catering mixer.
Thanks

RE: motor
BTW, whether the current is 1.6 Amps?

RE: motor
Simple arithmetic (1 HP = 750 Watts) indicates a little less than 1/2 HP, but the poor power factor and poorer efficiency of these small motors suggests the lower estimates.
Perhaps the original motor was replaced with a too small motor of the wrong type. I have installed a couple of industrial dough mixers. As I remember the motors were quite robust particularly in regards to starting duty.

RE: motor
I spoke to the manufacturers and they say the motor is the right size. The stamping for the amps is wrong. It should be perm cap as the starting should not be too powerful .Otherwise the drive chain could snap.
Thanks once again.
