FAQs
Yes. The 7BFPM2538T-5 uses a 286TS frame and foot-mounted design with horizontal mounting orientation (F1). This simplifies retrofit projects and aligns with common pump and gear configurations, reducing custom fabrication and enabling faster commissioning. Verify bolt-hole alignment and shaft compatibility with your existing coupling to ensure a seamless install.
Key specs include 40 HP output, 575 V voltage rating, 3-phase power, 60 Hz frequency, rated current 36 A, and starting method Y-Start/Delta Run. The motor is designed for continuous duty with a 1.15 service factor and a 3600 r/min synchronous speed, which supports stable pump operation and efficient energy use in fire pump and water-handling applications.
This motor is optimized for fire pump duty, water treatment, and HVAC pump systems requiring reliable, code-compliant performance. Its ODP enclosure and 286TS frame fit standard industrial pump housings, while the 40 HP rating and 60 Hz operation suit most municipal and industrial water systems. It is particularly well-suited for facilities prioritizing energy efficiency and regulatory compliance.
The 7BFPM2538T-5 carries CSA EEV and UL certifications, signaling rigorous safety and performance validation. This helps meet strict utility and building codes, reduces risk during audits, and supports procurement decisions for regulated facilities like hospitals, data centers, and fire-protection systems.
With a robust steel frame, F insulation class, and standard bearings (6311 ball), the motor offers extended service life and lower maintenance overhead. The energy-efficient design, combined with fast lead times and multiple stocked warehouses, translates to reduced downtime, lower total cost of ownership, and faster return on investment for essential pumping applications.
