Ao Smith h260 Three Phase Odp Motor 1/3 Hp

Product Description

The AO SMITH h260 is a three-phase open drip-proof (ODP) motor rated at 1/3 HP and designed for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable three-phase power. Operating on a 200-230/460 volt supply, this motor is built for environments where moisture ingress from dripping or light splashing is a concern but full enclosure is not required. Licensed electricians and HVAC-R technicians typically install this motor as a direct replacement or new installation in fan, pump, and blower assemblies. The ODP enclosure allows for internal cooling airflow, making it well-suited for controlled indoor mechanical rooms and equipment bays.

This motor is appropriate for light-duty to moderate commercial and industrial drive applications including fans, blowers, pumps, and compressors where a three-phase power supply is available. The dual-voltage winding at 200-230/460 volts provides flexibility across different facility electrical configurations. It is typically installed in commercial HVAC systems, industrial equipment, and process machinery where three-phase power is standard and the installation environment is relatively clean and dry.

Key Features

• 1/3 HP three-phase output for commercial and light industrial drive loads
• Dual voltage rating of 200-230/460 volts accommodates a range of facility power configurations
• Open drip-proof (ODP) enclosure design allows internal ventilation for cooler operation
• Three-phase design delivers smoother torque and higher efficiency than single-phase alternatives
• Century motor platform with established OEM-style dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement three-phase ODP motor for commercial HVAC, fan, blower, and pump assemblies requiring a 1/3 HP, 200-230/460 volt three-phase motor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC-R technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the equipment before removing the existing motor or making any wiring connections. Three-phase wiring connections must be made in accordance with NEC requirements and the motor nameplate wiring diagram for the voltage configuration in use. Verify rotation direction before returning the driven load to service, as phase sequencing determines motor rotation on three-phase circuits.
