Peak or Obtainable Torque from small (FHP) Gearmotors and Motors
It can get confusing when we discuss “Peak” or “Obtainable” torque for small (fractional HP = less than 1HP/746W) gearmotors and motors because terminology and definitions sometimes change between AC and DC motors, gearmotors, or when a motor speed control is used. AC Motors: in non-synchronous AC induction motors, we define obtainable torque as breakdown torque.VIEW
