Busck Electric Motors: Comparison of Key Types

Busck offers a wide range of electric motors designed for diverse industrial applications. This guide compares single-phase motors, three-phase motors, brake motors, and explosion-proof motors, outlining their features, advantages, and limitations to help you select the optimal motor for your needs.

Motor Type	Key Features	Advantages	Limitations
Single-Phase Motors	Requires an extra winding for phase shift Phase shift achieved through different methods Compact and easy to install	Ideal for smaller applications Self-starting capability with auxiliary winding Available in various configurations	Lower efficiency compared to three-phase motors
Busck Single-Phase Motors (MY and ML)	Run capacitor for low starting torque (MY) Low sound levels and energy-efficient design Painted aluminum housing (RAL 9005), removable feet Meets European Standard IEC 34-1	Durable construction suitable for fans and pumps Good operating performance Compact design for limited spaces	Limited starting torque compared to motors with start-up capacitors
Three-Phase Motors (High Efficiency IE4)	Energy savings, high efficiency IE4 High starting torque, lower starting current Versatile design, easy modification for various applications Aluminum housing up to frame size 200; cast iron up to frame size 355 Compact total length Full utilization of magnetization property of cold-rolled silicon steel	Significant energy savings Durable and versatile for demanding environments Low temperature rise, longer lifespan	Higher initial cost
Three-Phase Motors (High Efficiency IE3)	Energy savings, high efficiency IE3 High starting torque, lower starting current Versatile design, easy modification for various applications Aluminum housing up to frame size 200; cast iron up to frame size 355 Compact total length Full utilization of magnetization property of cold-rolled silicon steel	Energy-efficient design suitable for standard applications Meets international standards: IEC 60034, AS1359, BS5000 Low sound levels	Moderate initial cost compared to IE4
Brake Motors	Integrated braking system, precise control	Excellent for applications requiring quick stops	Higher cost due to added braking components
Explosion-Proof Motors	Certified for hazardous environments	Ensures safety in explosive atmospheres	More expensive and heavier due to specialized design
