VFDs.com stocks new and surplus AC electric motors from 0.05 HP up to 15,000+ HP, in both single-phase and three-phase configurations, from brands including WEG, TECO, Galt Electric, TMEIC, Toshiba, US Motors (Nidec), and Baldor-Reliance.
AC motors convert alternating current into rotational mechanical power and are the standard drive behind pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, and general industrial equipment. Single-phase motors are typically used for smaller loads (usually under 5 HP) on standard commercial or residential power. Three-phase motors are more efficient and are the standard choice for most industrial applications above that range, and they\'re required if you\'re pairing the motor with a variable frequency drive.
When choosing a motor, the key specs to match are horsepower, rated voltage, RPM/frame size, and enclosure type (e.g., TEFC for dusty or wet environments vs. open drip-proof for clean indoor spaces). Use the filters below to narrow by brand, voltage, or amperage for buyers looking to save on in-stock inventory.
