FAQs
The EM2280T is designed for dual voltage operation (230 V / 460 V) in a 3-phase, 60 Hz system. Its Direct On Line starting and 254T frame simplify mounting in existing equipment, reducing retrofit effort while maintaining consistent torque and performance across voltage variants.
Plan for horizontal foot-mounted installation on a 254T frame with standard drive-end flanges. Use proper misalignment tolerance, a robust foundation, and compliant shielding. The TEFC enclosure protects against dust and moisture, enabling reliable operation in typical industrial environments.
The EM2280T carries CSA, CSA EEV, and UR certifications, supporting global safety and compliance requirements. This simplifies cross-border procurement and reduces qualification time for multi-site deployments.
With a 256 lb unit weight, 6309 ball bearings, and insulation class F, the motor is designed for extended bearing life and reliable operation under 40 °C ambient conditions. Regular inspection of bearings and oil-free lubrication (if applicable) helps maximize uptime and lower total cost of ownership.
The motor delivers premium efficiency (≈86.5%) and a favorable power factor (≈61%), reducing energy consumption and cooling loads. Coupled with a 60-minute duty rating and readily available stock, this supports faster project timelines and lower lifecycle costs in high-demand lines.
