frame for fractional horsepower motor

Dec 15, 2003 3 Replies

I'm reading a book that explains how to build a frame for a particular NEMA 48 motor. I like to do a lot of peripheral reading when I encounter something specific like that. If you know of books I can read which specialize in the following topics, please let me know: (1) Designing metal frames in a shop for various purposes, with a chapter on building motor frames. It should also explain things like how one uses and installs rivets and with what equipment. (2) A book on fractional horsepower motors, including NEMA classifications, and how to use them and how to select one for a particular purpose.

classifications,
