Voltage Rating
190 V | 230 V | 380 V | 460 V
Wide voltage and frequency range (190 V to 460 V; 50 Hz to 60 Hz) enables global compatibility, reducing spare part inventories and simplifying compliant sourcing for multi-site projects. The business impact is clear: faster procurement, fewer stockouts, and consistent performance across regional grids, making it ideal for fire pumps and large-volume water-handling systems. The 3-phase design, 30/40 HP output, and high efficiency (91.7%) translate to lower energy costs and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in continuous duty. The 286TS frame, foot-mounted orientation, and horizontal mounting simplify installation and retrofit, cutting commissioning time and minimizing structural modifications on site. An Open Drip Proof enclosure paired with a steel frame enhances durability in demanding environments, reducing maintenance intervals and extending motor life. Certifications (CSA UL) add regulatory confidence for critical infrastructure projects.
