The motor features a service factor of 1.25, allowing temporary overloads up to 125% of rated load without damage. With an efficiency rating of 85.5% and a power factor of 0.74, it meets DOE and NEMA Premium efficiency standards, reducing energy consumption and operational costs. The motor is rated for Class 1, Division 2, Groups A-D hazardous locations, making it suitable for environments with potential explosive atmospheres. Certified to UL, CSA, and DOE standards, the GX3-AL-TF-143TC-4-B-D-1 includes tropicalization for enhanced durability in humid or corrosive conditions. Its IP55 rating ensures protection against dust and water ingress, while the graphite grey coating provides additional corrosion resistance. The motor is equipped with 6205ZZ sealed bearings on both the drive-end (DE) and non-drive-end (NDE) sides, ensuring long service life with minimal maintenance. The 9-lead dual-voltage wiring configuration allows flexible installation for either 230V or 460V operation, simplifying integration into existing systems. With a rated ambient temperature of 40°C and an altitude rating of 1000 meters, this motor is ideal for use in manufacturing, HVAC, pumping systems, and material handling equipment where consistent performance and energy savings are critical. The removable feet and 1.25-inch cable entry enhance installation flexibility, while the motor's compact 143TC frame size optimizes space utilization in tight installations.
