Built to NEMA Premium efficiency standards (IE3), this motor delivers 89.3% nominal efficiency at a rated ambient temperature of 40°C, ensuring energy savings and reduced operational costs. The motor operates at dual voltages (230/460V, 60Hz) with a service factor of 1.25, providing flexibility for varying power supply conditions. With a TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled) enclosure and IP55 rating, it offers robust protection against dust and water ingress, making it ideal for harsh environments. The 286LP frame size ensures compatibility with standard aeration equipment, while the 53/26.9A rated current (at 230/460V) supports continuous duty operation. Certified to UL, CSA, and DOE standards, this motor meets stringent safety and performance requirements. Key applications include wastewater treatment plants, aeration basins, and industrial process systems where reliable, high-torque performance is critical. The motor features a 12-lead dual-voltage wiring configuration for simplified installation and maintenance. With a locked rotor torque of 217% of full load and a breakdown torque of 213%, it provides the necessary starting and overload capacity for demanding aeration applications. The motor's tropicalization ensures reliable operation in humid or corrosive environments, while the 7024 graphite grey coating enhances durability. Backed by Techtop Industries' engineering expertise, this motor is a proven solution for efficient, long-term aeration system performance.
