The Three-Phase Fractional Horsepower Premium Efficiency Motor is a high-efficiency three-phase asynchronous motor designed for industrial light-duty applications. It offers power ratings from 1/4HP to 2HP (0.18–1.5kW) and is compatible with frame sizes 48–56. Featuring a cold-rolled steel frame and an open drip-proof (ODP) construction, this motor achieves IP23 protection, effectively protecting against vertically falling water and solid foreign objects. Its key advantage lies in its compliance with NEMA B design standards and a 1.15 service factor margin, ensuring short-term overload stability. Its Class F insulation system optimizes thermal management, and its multiple energy efficiency certifications, including CSA, CUS, UL, CC, and EEV, significantly reduce long-term operating energy consumption.
Key Features and Applications
1. High-Efficiency Power Output
With a power range of 1/4HP–2HP, it precisely matches the needs of light-duty equipment (such as pumps, fans, and conveyors).
Premium Efficiency Class (CC/EEV) certification reduces energy loss and is suitable for continuous operation.
2. Robust Structure and Safety Protection
The cold-rolled steel frame enhances mechanical strength and heat dissipation efficiency.
IP23 protection: Protects against intrusion of solid objects ≥12.5 mm and water dripping at a 60° angle, suitable for dusty and humid environments.
3. High Reliability Design
NEMA B design: Balances starting torque and current, compatible with standard variable frequency drives.
1.15 Service Factor: Allows for temporary overload of 15% to cope with sudden load fluctuations.
F-Class Insulation System: Withstands 155°C temperature rise, extending motor life.
4. Global Compliance Certifications
CSA & CUS UL safety certifications (North American market), CC (China Compulsory Certification), and EEV (High-Efficiency Motor Standard), meeting energy efficiency regulations in multiple countries.
5. Typical Applications
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, compressor units, medical instrument drives, food processing machinery, and automated production line auxiliary equipment.
