Purchase the Electric Motor that You Need
One of the first features to consider is the electric motor load that will be required : will it be constant torque load, variable torque load or constant power loads?
The type of electric motor isolation must also be considered. Do you need a class A, B, F or a class H motor such as a High Temperature Motor for high temperature environments such as ovens or kilns. For example, since 1995, EBI manufactures and distributes the EBI Dry Kiln Duty Motor which is a high temperature electric motor for lumber dry kilns.

Just like a typical electric motor, servomotors, gearboxes, soft starters and variable frequency drives must be considered according to the application they serve in order to ensure lifespan and optimal efficiency. EBI Electric specializes in advising our customer about choosing the right electric motor or auxiliary equipment.
