Single-phase induction motors are optimal for uni-directional and continuous operation such as a conveyor system. Simply connect a capacitor and plug the motor into an AC power supply to operate. These washdown motors provide additional protection against water and dust.

Three-phase induction motors are optimal for uni-directional and continuous operation such as a conveyor system. Combine with the use of an inverter, three-phase motors can also be used for speed control operation. These washdown motors provide additional protection against water and dust.
