Overview

The Techtop GX3-AL-TF-256T-6-B-D-10 is a 10 HP, three-phase, 256T frame aluminum TEFC motor engineered for industrial reliability. Rated at 1180 RPM with a 6-pole (1200 RPM) design, this NEMA Premium IE3 motor operates on dual-voltage (230/460V, 50/60Hz) with a rated efficiency of 91% and service factor of 1.25. Key electrical specs include a full-load current of 28.7/14.4 Amps, locked rotor torque of 312%, breakdown torque of 371%, and pull-up torque of 173%. The motor features a 12-lead dual-voltage wiring configuration for flexible integration, with a rated ambient temperature of 40°C and altitude rating up to 1000 meters. Insulation class F and a temperature rise of 34.8°C at full load support continuous duty operation. Mechanical robustness is delivered via 6309 C3 bearings on both drive-end and non-drive-end sides, shaft grounding for extended bearing life, and a graphite grey (7024) corrosion-resistant coating. The motor includes removable feet, a 1.25-inch cable entry, and a compact 256T frame size for installation in tight spaces. Ideal for pumps, fans, compressors, and material handling systems, the GX3-AL-TF-256T-6-B-D-10 combines energy efficiency with mechanical durability. Its 12-lead configuration simplifies voltage conversion, and the motor’s design supports VFD operation within the specified CT range. With a noise level per NEMA and a moment of inertia optimized for industrial loads, this motor delivers consistent performance in demanding applications.
