Feature → Business Impact → Application: The TEFC enclosure protects the motor from dust and moisture, increasing uptime in harsh environments and reducing service intervals for general purpose equipment such as material handlers and small conveyors. This translates to lower maintenance costs and greater line availability in light industrial settings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 3 HP at 230 V in a 184T frame provides robust torque with compact footprint, enabling easy retrofits into tighter spaces and standard mounting in legacy lines. This supports efficient upgrades for packaging, mixing, and small pump applications without major mechanical changes. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Regreasable bearings and a 60-minute continuous duty rating improve reliability and reduce lubrication-related downtime, while direct on line starting simplifies control integration with existing VFDs or solid-state starters in fans and pumps. Feature → Business Impact → Application: High power factor (96%) and rated efficiency (85.50%) deliver energy savings and lower operating costs on continuous processes, essential for production lines seeking regulatory compliance and reduced utility spend. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1-phase, foot-mounted design with NEMA L design and TEFC protection supports fast installation and safer service in retrofit projects, including conveyors, grinders, or small industrial mixers with standard 184T mounting.
