Re: OT question regarding a Spanish motor


 

A little more info would help - especially a picture. How big is this motor, in terms of physical size and estimated output rating? How many actual leads does it have? Is there a built-in start capacitor or switch? Is it a servo, or a prime mover? Is it reversible? There are many possibilities.

I'd guess offhand the "Svclo Ctnuo" is abbreviation for continuous service, or pilot duty = 100 percent at the rated output. The "Cos. P" may mean Cosine Phase, and the "(0188)" could be associated with a phase angle or power factor. I don't know what the "CV.=1" means, but possibly 1 uF, if there is an associated capactor.

If it's a regular induction power (prime mover) motor, I don't think it would be specified at 3600 RPM (3450 would be more likely for 60 Hz), unless it's synchronous. In that case, there would likely be a capacitor to go with it, with its size and voltage rating typically listed on the motor nameplate. Small synchronous motors don't necessarily need a cap.

So, if there's no output (HP or kW), or input (A) rating, or capacitor indicated, with no more info, I'd guess the motor is a small (1/8 HP or less), synchronous, dual voltage, single-phase type - like from an old record player (but 440V wouldn't make sense). A five wire power connection is more of an industrial type, and could accommodate two motor windings plus safety ground, for a single-phase dual voltage, servo, or synchronous type, or a single-voltage (dual voltage could be wired inside the motor splice box) three-phase, non-synchronous motor in delta or wye configuration, plus ground.

Again, there are a lot of possibilities, so more info and pictures would help to narrow it down.? Good luck.
