He was aware although the cooling thing is food for thought.
There is no fan but it does have a heavy steel casing that I assume will act as a heat sink. There are no cooling fins either just a cylindrical casing. I assume that a non fan motor has to rely on something like a heat sink although I hadn’t given it any thought until now.
I guess I will need to see how it goes when I start using it. Does a motor running at lower than original design speed through a VFD generate more heat than one running at original design speed?
