What Is a TENV Motor?
A Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated (TENV) motor is designed to prevent dust, moisture, and debris from entering the motor housing. Because it does not rely on external airflow for cooling, TENV motors are well-suited for marine and outdoor environments where exposure to the elements is common.
