An AC motor runs on alternating current and is the most widely used electric motor type in industry. In a city such as Istanbul, where manufacturing, textile, food and logistics plants are concentrated, an AC induction motor sits at the heart of countless lines, from pumps and conveyors to fans and compressors. Fast supply of the right motor is critical to keeping production running.

AC Motor Demand in Istanbul Industry

Istanbul holds Turkey's broadest production base, with organised industrial zones and thousands of small and medium workshops. Textile machines, food-processing equipment, plastic injection lines and warehouse automation are all driven by AC motors. This variety calls for a wide motor range across different powers and speeds.

How an AC Induction Motor Works

In a three-phase AC induction motor the stator windings create a rotating magnetic field, and the rotor lags behind it (through slip) to produce torque. On a 50 Hz grid the synchronous speed depends on the pole count: 2-pole 3000 rpm, 4-pole 1500 rpm, 6-pole 1000 rpm. This simplicity makes the AC motor both durable and easy to maintain.

Power, Protection and Mounting Options

Applications in Istanbul span from small 0.55 kW drives to heavy machines reaching 355 kW. IP55 protection secures dusty and humid environments, while Class F insulation suits continuous duty. The mounting is chosen as B3 (foot), B5 (flange) or B14 (face) to match the machine.
