These general purpose motors meet most needs
ABB
The N-series general purpose motors (photo, p.22) provide energy efficiency, reliability and safety in applications where a highly customized motor is not needed. The motors use cost-effective pre-packaged designs with short lead times. N-series motors currently include three product families: the high-voltage rib-cooled and modular-induction motors, and a new range of slip-ring motors. Even in their basic configuration the N-series motors satisfy most common requirements in many industries. A number of pre-engineered option packages are available. Vertically mounted motors fitted with thrust bearings, for example, are widely used in pumping applications. — ABB, Zurich, Switzerland
