Compressor
The core rotating equipment in gas processing and pipeline transport — and one of the applications where getting the motor and package specification right matters most.
The motor is one part of a package
A centrifugal compressor arrives as a package: frame, lubricating oil system, piping assemblies and instrumentation, with the driver specified alongside them. That means the motor has to satisfy the package designer's constraints — footprint, mounting, vibration limits, terminal box orientation — as well as the process duty. Specifying it in isolation is how packages arrive that will not physically go together.
Rated on the nameplate, verifiable on test
LEADGO nameplate power and full-load amperage are what the machine actually delivers on test, and the test report is available on request. For compressor duty this matters more than usual: the driver is sized against a computed absorbed power, and any gap between nameplate and reality shows up as a thermal problem months later rather than as a failure on commissioning.
Recommended series
Certification routes — ATEX, IECEx and North American Class/Division — are compared on the hazardous area page.
