Feature → Business Impact → Application: 5 HP, 1760 RPM (nominal) provides strong HVAC drive torque while maintaining energy efficiency, reducing motor wear and improving system responsiveness in air handling units and rooftop units. This directly lowers energy consumption and maintenance costs in commercial buildings. 3-phase motor with 230/460 V compatibility enables flexible integration with US electrical distributions, simplifying panel design and startup. Frame Size 184T and Foot Mounted base support straightforward installation and serviceability, minimizing downtime during replacements. OPSB enclosure enhances protection in typical HVAC environments, improving reliability in dusty or coolant-adjacent areas. Rated Current 13.2 A / 6.6 A and Power Factor 80% contribute to accurate sizing of drives and electrical feeders, reducing wiring costs and back-end losses. IE3 Premium Efficiency recognizes regulatory expectations and delivers measurable energy savings over the motor’s life. Direct On Line starting keeps installation simple and cost-effective for single-speed, continuous-duty operation. All these features converge to shorten project timelines, improve system availability, and lower lifecycle costs in air handling, fan-coil, and central plant applications.

FAQs
The motor is foot mounted with a horizontal orientation and uses the OPSB enclosure, designed for straightforward installation in standard HVAC equipment. The 184T frame size aligns with common baseplates, easing retrofit or new-build integrations in air handlers and rooftop units.
This is a 3-phase motor rated at 5 HP with 1760 RPM nominal speed, compatible with 230/460 V and 60 Hz. Rated current is 13.2 A (full load) or 6.6 A (torque optimized) with a power factor around 80%, enabling efficient drive sizing and balanced electrical loading.
Yes. It is designed for continuous duty with NEMA Design B code, suitable for HVAC applications like air handlers, fans, and pumps where reliable, long-life operation is required under steady loads.
The motor carries CSA | UR certifications and is designed to meet NEMA standards, with IE3 premium efficiency. These certifications support safe operation, product traceability, and compliance with energy and safety regulations in the United States.
With a standard frame and readily available parts for 184T motors, maintenance is predictable and cost-effective. The IE3 efficiency reduces operating costs, while a straightforward direct-on-line start minimizes startup wear. Warranty terms should be verified with the supplier, and routine checks on bearings (6206 ball bearings) and lubrication (regreasable) help maximize uptime.
