IE3 Premium Efficiency isachieved, reducing energy consumption and cooling load, which translates to measurable utility savings and lower operational costs for continuous operation in high-load applications. The TEFC enclosure protects against dust, moisture, and harsh atmospheres, extending motor life in dusty production lines and outdoor settings, while reducing maintenance downtime. The U-Frame, 256U frame size, and foot-mounted design enable simple retrofits and fast installations in legacy machinery, minimizing downtime and capital expenditure. Direct On Line starting capability supports immediate torque delivery, improving startup reliability for conveyors and pumps with minimal impact on electrical infrastructure. The 3-phase, 60 Hz, 230/460 V voltage rating and 1775 r/min nominal speed align with common industrial drives, reducing the need for mismatched drivers and simplifying panel design. A robust 1.38 in shaft and 0.78 power factor enhance compatibility with standard mechanical couplings and drive systems. Industry-standard design (NEMA A) and 40 °C ambient tolerance provide predictable performance in typical plant environments, boosting ROI through reduced replacement cycles and predictable maintenance planning. This motor is well-suited for cost-sensitive OEMs and end-users seeking reliable, energy-efficient performance without extensive rework of existing drive trains.

FAQs
Yes. The 7BEM2238 uses a foot-mounted, 256U frame with a TEFC enclosure, designed for straightforward installation on compatible bases. It supports direct-on-line starting and standard 3-phase 230/460 V, 60 Hz power supplies, making it easy to integrate with most existing VFDs and drive trains without extensive modification.
Key specs include 10 HP output, rated current 26 A (In) / 13 A, 230/460 V, 60 Hz, and 1775 r/min nominal speed. Efficiency is IE3, with a power factor around 0.78. These figures translate to strong torque at start, energy efficiency during continuous operation, and compatibility with standard industrial drives and panel layouts.
Ideal for continuous-duty applications such as conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing, processing, and packaging environments. The TEFC enclosure and 40 °C ambient rating support operation in dusty or moderately harsh settings. Its 256U frame and NEMA A design enable reliable performance in retrofit and new equipment alike.
The motor carries CSA, CSA EEV, and UR listings, with NEMA standards support. IE3 Premium Efficiency meets energy performance regulations in many regions. This combination helps ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and potential energy rebates in compliant facilities.
Expect reduced energy costs due to IE3 efficiency, lower maintenance with a robust TEFC design, and longer service life in demanding environments. Direct On Line starting simplifies control architecture, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and faster return on investment for OEMs and end-users.
