FAQs
Yes. The VL1408T is a dual-voltage motor rated for 115 V or 230 V at 60 Hz, designed for single-phase operation and direct-on-line starting, which simplifies wiring and reduces the need for multiple SKU variants.
The motor carries CSA/UR certification and conforms to NEMA design standards. This combination supports regulatory compliance, safe operation, and easier procurement and maintenance across North American facilities.
The VL1408T uses an ODTF enclosure with C-face mounting and a horizontal orientation. It also features a 184TC frame and a footless base, enabling straightforward installation and compatibility with a wide range of OEM equipment.
Key specs include 3 HP output, 1 phase, 60 Hz, rated current of 32 A (or 16 A depending on voltage), efficiency around 78%, and a rated speed of 1725 r/min. These values support proper drive sizing and energy efficiency in light-industrial applications.
With a robust 1.15 service factor, durable bearings, and Class F insulation, the VL1408T offers reliable long-term operation and reduced maintenance intervals. The standard frame, mounting, and dual-voltage options also lower spare-parts complexity and stock levels, improving total cost of ownership.
