Electric Motors For Decanter Centrifuge
Most Decanter Centrifuges use the same NEMA design B explosion-proof motors used for centrifugal pumps: either 1500 rpm at 50 Hz or 1800 rpm at 60 Hz. Decanter Centrifuges may draw up to seven times the full-load current for approximately 15 seconds at startup. It is considered good practice to limit centrifuge startups to two starts per hour to protect the motor because the current draw closely approaches the limit.
