FAQs
Ensure mounting matches the 56C frame and C-face/foot-mounted configuration. Verify 575 V, 3-phase supply and 60 Hz compatibility, and plan for direct-on-line or VFD-driven starting. Check enclosure type (TENV) and cleaning procedures to maintain seal integrity and prolong life.
The 0.5 HP rating provides adequate torque for moderate-speed conveyors and pumps while remaining within standard drive curves. The 56C frame fits common mounting patterns, simplifying retrofits and ensuring compatibility with many 3-phase drives and control panels.
Yes. The washdown design with a TENV enclosure is intended for harsh cleaning regimes, and the 3-phase, 60 Hz operation aligns with typical facility power. The 56C frame and C-face mounting support hygienic line integration and ease of cleaning around equipment.
The motor is CSA and UR listed, indicating safety compliance, and it follows NEMA Design B standards. These certifications help ensure regulatory adherence, reliability in regulated facilities, and compatibility with standard industrial controls and safety requirements.
With a 1.25 service factor, F-class insulation, and a durable TENV enclosure, maintenance intervals are predictable and downtime is minimized. Energy use is optimized for steady 0.77 A current at 575 V, contributing to lower operating costs and a favorable return on investment in continuous-duty applications.
