What is the service factor?

June 26, 2014 by Electric Motor

The service factor is the amount of overload capacity that any motor has.

For example, if there is a service factor of 1.25, it means that the motor can deliver 25% more than the rated horsepower without hurting the integrity of the windings. Service factors will vary for different motors and for different speed ratings.
