Locked Rotor Torque

The torque produced by an electric motor when it starts with the rotor locked, crucial for understanding the motor's starting capabilities.

Circulation Pumps

Pumps used to facilitate the movement of fluids in a loop or circuit, commonly found in heating and cooling systems.

Fans

Mechanical devices with blades that rotate to create air flow for ventilation or cooling purposes.
