The 7BCEM2528T uses a 20 HP open, 286TC frame with 1180 rpm, 3-phase, 60 Hz operation. This standard footprint supports easy interchangeability with existing equipment, reducing downtime during swaps and simplifying spare parts inventories. It’s ideal for conveyors, pumps, and fans on manufacturing lines where quick, reliable performance matters.Enclosure choice matters in harsh plant environments. The OPSB enclosure protects against dust and moisture, lowering enclosure-related failures and extending bearing life. This makes it a strong fit for packaging lines, water treatment, and HVAC systems where reliability is critical.Dual voltage capability of 230 V and 460 V at 60 Hz reduces wiring complexity and inventory needs, while premium efficiency at 92.4% lowers energy costs. The combination supports energy targets, smoother startup, and lower utility bills for pumps and fans across varied loads.Installation is straightforward thanks to horizontal mounting with a C-Face drive end and a foot-mounted base. A steel frame, 1.88 in shaft, and 6311 bearings provide robust performance with longer service intervals. With insulation class F and a service factor of 1.15, it is prepared for continuous operation in standard industrial conditions.Regulatory confidence comes from CSA, CSA EEV, and UR certifications, complemented by NEMA design code A and the OPSB enclosure. The motor ships with a ready-to-install package that supports quick commissioning and dependable performance in OEM and end-user environments.
