Federal 2001 Motor Horsepower?

[Westgate Thunderbolt]

Does anyone know the horsepower rating for the Federal Signal 2001 DC siren motor? I contacted one of the motor manufacturers and they couldn't give me that information off hand. I was told that they had one in for rebuild at the time. Once they were done load testing it they would get back to me. They never did.

Serving from memory, it was 7.5.

7. Maybe 6 on older models

I believe it is 7.5HP. The 130 uses a 6.5HP motor. I believe Federal dropped the horse power on the later models for greater power efficiency. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I forget.

I know that the 508 is 7. I see no reason why a 2001 would have anything over that, considering the 508's rotor definitely seems like it would have more mass. Unless, of course this is the case.

Just looked in the manual, the 2001 and 508 use the same 6.5HP motor.

If I'm not mistaken they have all had 6.5 HP motors. They changed companies at one point, but in just the horsepower rating they were all 6.5, and that includes the 508, Equinox, and both the Eclipse 8 and NH. The only one that was different was the true "2001-AC" that was sold early on during production that used a 5 HP repulsion induction motor, same as a single phase Model 3. I'll do some searching, but I think even the rounded back SRN's used 6.5 HP motors.

Huh, it said 7 in the spec sheet PDF that i have.

Nope, it's 6.5 as seen here:
