Question:

What is a M/C Tool rating? AC induction motor?

HelloI have a 3/4hp Brooks Gryphon AC induction motor with:Rating : M/C ToolWhats this mean?

Answer:

M/C probably means metal cutting. Since machine tool manufacturers buy large quantities of motors, motor manufacturers design motors for specific machine tool applications rather than offering only general purpose motors. Without documentation from the manufacturer, there is probably no way to determine for sure how your motor differs from a standard, general purpose motor with similar nameplate data.
