Open enclosure with a 184T frame supports straightforward installation and cooling in open-air environments. The motor runs on 115/230 V single‑phase at 60 Hz, reducing wiring complexity and enabling flexible site connections for retrofit or new builds. Regreasable ball bearings (6206 and 6205 NDE) extend service life and lower maintenance costs by allowing timed lubrication without disassembly, which is ideal for conveyors and pumps that run continuously. At 3 HP and 1725 rpm, the motor provides steady torque with a 1.15 service factor and roughly 78% efficiency, helping to meet drive-load requirements while controlling energy use; rated current of 32 A (In) / 16 A (I1) aligns with common distribution panels in light industrial lines. Design features include NEMA L design, insulation class F, and Direct On Line starting for quick, reliable startup. Foot-mounted horizontal mounting with standard flange supports easy retrofits and universal installation in a wide range of equipment. With CSA/UR certifications and adherence to NEMA standards, the unit is suitable for North American facilities, while altitude up to 1000 m and ambient temperature rating of 40 C ensure robust operation in typical plant environments.
