Premium Efficiency is matched with a 92.40% rated efficiency and an 89% power factor, delivering tangible reductions in operating costs for continuous-duty applications such as conveyors and pumps. The business impact is lower energy bills and cooler running temperatures, translating to longer motor life and less cooling load in the plant. This motor supports 60 Hz operation with a nominal speed of 3530 r/min on a 286TSC frame, enabling seamless replacement in existing lines while preserving mechanical footprints and alignment. Dual voltage flexibility (230 V / 460 V) reduces spare parts and enables global installations without rewiring, improving procurement resilience and project scheduling. The OPSB enclosure plus C-Face mounting simplify retrofits and new builds, providing safer access and straightforward alignment with standard foot-mounted or horizontal configurations. Direct On Line starting minimizes control complexity and startup time, helping you achieve quick commissioning and predictable ramp-ups. Regulatory compatibility is reinforced by NEMA design code B, Insulation Class F, and certifications (CSA, CSA EEV, UR), ensuring compliance across US-based facilities and customers with strict safety requirements. Stocking at multiple warehouses combined with 0-day lead time reduces downtime and accelerates project timelines, supporting fast deployments in both new builds and machine upgrades.
