Sir,
Is this motor 3-phase, induction motor?
Can you also please confirm me that can this motor be used with Curtis 1236?
Can you please judge its input voltage?
... The answers to the questions pertaining to the motor pictured in post #12 are:

No.

No.

No.
LOL :D

Agreed, but more specifically:
Is this motor 3-phase, induction motor?
No, because the partially obscured label includes words engine in "ONOUS" and "OR", which are presumably "synchronous motor". The "U", "V", "W" terminal labels indicate 3-phase power, but an induction motor is not a synchronous motor.

Can you also please confirm me that can this motor be used with Curtis 1236?
No, because the Curtis 1236 is for induction motors.

Can you please judge its input voltage?
No, because there is no visible information related to operating voltage.

That label could say "ASYNCHRONOUS MOTOR". Better photo needed.
:D LOL
Good point! Of course, it would probably be the first induction motor ever made with a label saying "asynchronous", but that would be technically correct.

Regarding specific motor images mentioned in post#12 > Sticker clearly shows "PM SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR",
I think "PM" stands for "Permanent Magnet".
That's helpful. So...
  • yes, it's a permanent magnet type of synchronous motor, and
  • no, it won't work with the Curtis 1236, unless these controllers intended for induction motors can be programmed to run synchronous motors.
