Explosion-protected design minimizes ignition risks in hazardous zones, reducing safety incidents and non-compliance costs while enabling reliable operation of conveyors and pumps in oil, gas, and chemical processing environments. The 0.5 HP, 1725 RPM, 60 Hz, 4-pole configuration translates to efficient, steady speed control and compatibility with standard drives, delivering improved process stability and energy efficiency. A 56C steel frame with C-face mounting simplifies integration with existing equipment and enclosures, lowering installation time and reducing mounting misalignment. Dual voltage 208-230/460 V and three-phase capability enable flexible power sourcing and simplified electrical planning across multiple site configurations, while insulation class B and a 40 °C ambient rating support longevity in demanding applications. Availability across multiple warehouses (stocked at EGAUT001EXPU, GBINS001EXPU, SGIND004EXPU, USABB014EXPU) shortens lead times, minimizing downtime and accelerating project timelines. The unit complies with NEMA standards and uses XPFC enclosure technology for dependable hazardous-location protection, addressing common objections about safety certification and field readiness. A warranty framework and clear stocking policies provide reassurance for maintenance planning and replacement cycles, aligning with total-cost-of-ownership objectives for asset-intensive operations.

FAQs
This model features a 56C frame with C-face mounting and is designed for hazardous locations. Ensure proper enclosure and mounting hardware, verify 208-230/460 V three-phase supply, and pair with a compatible drive or starter. The result is straightforward installation, reduced vibration risk, and solid alignment with standard OEM equipment.
The motor is explosion-protected with an XPFC enclosure and adheres to NEMA standards, meeting common safety expectations for hazardous-area installations. While the data does not list CE or SIL, the XPFC design and US-origin manufacture provide strong compliance alignment for many industrial environments and contracting requirements.
The 56C frame supports a wide range of mounting options and standard driver interfaces, while the 3-phase, 60 Hz, 208-230/460 V rating ensures compatibility with most plant electrical systems. This combination simplifies wiring, reduces the need for special transformers, and enables easier integration with existing control panels and variable frequency drives.
The unit is stocked with zero lead time in multiple warehouses, including EGAUT001EXPU, GBINS001EXPU, SGIND004EXPU, and USABB014EXPU. This broad stocking reduces procurement risk, lowers downtime, and supports rapid deployment in new or upgrading projects across global sites.
Warranty guidance states that products under warranty must be returned if issues arise. For maintenance, rely on standard inspection intervals, check for insulation integrity (class B), monitor bearing wear, and ensure proper lubrication per OEM recommendations. The stocked model plus warranty terms support a predictable replacement and service cycle for asset-intensive facilities.
