Overview

The TechTop SS3-TF-145TC-2-D-3 is a high-efficiency, 3 HP (2.24 kW) stainless steel motor designed for industrial applications requiring reliable performance and durability. Part of TechTop’s SS3-TF series, this motor features a 145TC frame size, 2-pole configuration (3600 RPM at 60Hz, 3000 RPM at 50Hz), and dual-voltage operation (230/460V, 60Hz; 230/460V, 50Hz). The Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC) enclosure ensures protection against dust and moisture, making it ideal for harsh environments. Key electrical specifications include a rated current of 7.95/3.98 Amps (high/low voltage), a service factor of 1.25, and an insulation class F with a temperature rise of 56.3°C at full load. The motor achieves a nominal efficiency of 86.5% (IE3 - NEMA Premium), meeting DOE and CSA standards for energy efficiency. It is tropicalized for enhanced resistance to humidity and corrosion, and features a NEMA Design B torque curve for consistent performance across varying loads. Mechanical robustness is provided by sealed ball bearings (6205 2RS on the drive end, 6204 2RS on the non-drive end) and a robust shaft grounding system to minimize electrical discharge. The motor is UL/CSA certified (File Nos. 323353, 224693, 096A) and carries a 1000-meter rated altitude capability. With a weight of approximately 66 lbs (30 kg), it is suitable for mounting in industrial panels, machinery, and conveyor systems. Applications include pumps, fans, compressors, machine tools, and material handling equipment where high efficiency, reliability, and compliance with international standards are critical. The 9-lead dual-voltage wiring configuration allows flexible installation in both 230V and 460V systems, reducing downtime during reconfiguration. For OEMs and system integrators, the SS3-TF-145TC-2-D-3 delivers a balance of performance, energy savings, and durability, backed by TechTop’s engineering expertise and global certifications.
