1 HP single Phase motor for mill

Not sure why inverter drive supermarket would be really trying to market single phase motors.🙄

Maybe they’re offering single phase motors at inflated prices to make their inverters look more attractive?

The Machine Mart motors that I have seen in use have been noisy. I would pay a little more and get a quieter motor and I suspect a better quality motor to boot.

I am not getting into the classic "quality" arguments often voiced on the forum!

In my some 50+ years as an Electrician, I never heard a noisy motor of any kind. Unless it was duff of course. I have a 3ph 1.5 Hp machine mart one on the Myford & a 3Ph 1Hp TEC on the Mill. both are pretty silent in operation. The machines themselves are quite noisy but not the motors.

The Clarke motors on Machine Mart seem to get good reviews with comments like:

“Seems to be well built and runs quietly with no vibes.”

VFD's are only a small part of their inventory, after all you would expect more than just screws from Screwfix, wouldn't you?

Here is my old thread with a really noisy Clarke 3/4HP motor, part way down the thread is a Youtube video of it running which Clarke head office had access to and refunded me straight away

Noisy Clarke motor

That sounded terrible. Fault somewhere. Sounded like a start winding stuck in or if 3ph a phase down.

My Clarke compressor is over 10yrs old now & apart from a new capacitor last year is great.
