What industry and what buildings?

OK, for what industry and what building applications are you selling motors?

Fans, pumps, small lathes, or just about anything a large motor is too big for.

Can you provide more information?

Thanks Jack of all Trades,

Actually I want to know in the simple/commerical machine industry, like garage door, car washer, green house controller, HVAC, is 3 phase small motor widely used or not?

What people use to control the 3 phase motor<1.5kw in these application? By mini contactor or by power relay?

Are the motors <1.5 kw are normally single phase and very few are 3 phases?

Commonly single phase motors are supplied for small motors because most residential and commercial buildings have single phase available and may not have three phase. Three phase motors replace single phase motors (generally) when the motor gets too big and the single phase currents get too high.

Cost is a consideration but it is generally more important to have the right single or three phase supply available.

This is all rather general information as there are certain situations where you would use a single phase motor over a three phase motor and vise versa.

In the intervening 22 hours 35 minutes between you're post have you even had a look on Google?

Do a search for, "small 3 phase motor applications".

Or, small 3 phase motor applications in the simple/commercial machine industry

You DO know how to search, right? Spelling isn't important.

If you want someone to do the research for you, contact a marketing research company, or hire an assistant.
