Greetings,
I started casually looking for a motor for a no weld grinder...
I have a few questions being that I know little about electric motors...
* I need an AC motor... if a seller does not disclose whether a motor is AC or DC, is there a way to tell the difference just by appearance?
DC motors seem too look like big tubes with no contours or parts that 'protrude'. AC Motors seem to have burls that stick out in which the electricity grows in all kinds of different directions (that's a joke)... but how will I know?
* How will I know if the motor will run on 110 standard wiring? Does the motor voltage number reveal this?
* I think I want 1750 RPM's correct? I found a motor with two speeds (1750 and 3500 or whatever). Would this be of benefit?
* The arbor needs to be 1/2" or 5/8" correct?
* What's this TEFC blarney?
Thanks, any input is helpful... I know I need a 1 phase motor and not 3 or more...
