well i scored my new motor that i have been looking for my NWGS. its a BALDOR ac motor here are the spect.

Man all that is on the motor.
I think this puppy has to put out more that 1.5hp because of that amps it draws at 115 which is 18. one HP is = 746 watts so 18x115 is 2070 watts input power. now im gessing this (NEMA NOM EFF [ 75.5% ]) and (PF [ 80% ]) is the effency of the motor. so 75.5% of 2070 is 1562 watts and 80% of 2070 is 1656 watts. so devide 1562 watts by 746 to get HP is 2.09 and 1656/746= 2.21 HP.
Could this be a 2 hp motor but onley rated at 1.5. then agen im no expert and im just gessing, if im way off please help. O also this is a motor made to be run in the wet, its atached to a concreet floor saw that is made out of a tun of 1/2" thick aluminum plate can we say life time supply of quentch plates :D. it also has some huge moveable sections that look like XY tables with solid aluminum plate on the top that has wheels on the end so by cranking a knob it lifts the saw off the floor. there are 2 of these and could be put togather to make one fine XY table :eek:. there is also a small motor with a gear box that runs the wheels to move it forward or reverse it has a speed control. so there is a lot of stuff of value and to onley think i payed $120 for the hole setup.
If any one can help me with decypering the nameplate on the motor that would be great.
Thanks

JT looks like ONE HECK OF A SCORE! sweet dude, will make a nice grinder with it being all sealed up like that no worries abot grit getting in.
 
ya and when it gets dirty just dump some water on it and wash it off. ill post some pictures
 
ok here are the pictures of the motor and concreat cutter. as you can see there are a lot of stuff to use out of this.

The saw blade won't be usable for anything but a round disk of steel. Not blade material.
While cleaning up the smithy today, I came across the stack of concrete saw blades I was given several years back. They are from 16 to 24". I have ordered several large mild steel disks for projects in the past year, and never thought about using one of these. They would make neat forge ends.Cut a flat on two 24" blades,weld them on as ends,use a 12" forge tube,and you have a forge that has its own stand (not to mention the neat slotted perimeter).

JT, Electric motor H.P. isn't figured by voltage x current.
1 hp = 33,000 foot-pounds of work per minute.
a foot-pound is the amount of energy required to raise a 1 pound weight 1 foot.

I thought i would correct you a little. im not wanting to start a fight but i am an electrician. here is how motor HP is calculated, I thought i would share it.



Electrical power is rated in horsepower or watts. A horsepower is a unit of power equal to 746 watts or 33,0000 lb-ft per minute (550 lb-ft per second). A watt is a unit of measure equal to the power produced by a current of 1 amp across the potential difference of 1 volt. It is 1/746 of 1 horsepower. The watt is the base unit of electrical power. Motor power is rated in horsepower and watts.
Horsepower is used to measure the energy produced by an electric motor while doing work. To calculate the horsepower of a motor when current and efficiency, and voltage are known, apply this formula:

HP = V x I x Eff / 746

HP = horsepower
V = voltage
I = curent (amps)
Eff. = efficiency

Example: What is the horsepower of my 115v motor pulling 18 amps and having 75% efficiency?
HP = (V x I x Eff)/746
HP = (115 x 18 x .75)746
HP = 1552.5/746
HP = 2.08Hp

If your motor does not have the efficiency listed than you have to take the name plates word for it on hp. but you can messure the amps under a load to get an idea of the hp.
hope this helps.

This motor is going to be so sweet on my new belt grinder.
