Us Motors C32P3B 1.5 Hp Three Phase Ac Motor 182T Tefc

Product Description

The US MOTORS C32P3B is a three-phase, premium-efficient AC motor built for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Rated at 1.5 horsepower and 1175 RPM nameplate speed, it runs on 230/460 volts at 60 Hz and draws 4.7 amps at 230 volts or 2.3 amps at 460 volts under full load. The motor uses a 182T frame with a cast iron construction and a totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) enclosure, making it suited for environments where dust, moisture, or debris could compromise an open-drip-proof motor. Full load efficiency is rated at 87.5 percent with a service factor of 1.15, allowing brief operation above nameplate load without immediate damage.

This motor is used in light industrial machinery, pumps, compressors, fans, and conveyor systems where a three-phase power supply is available. The rigid mount configuration makes it compatible with standard base-mount applications using the 182T frame footprint. The reversible rotation allows the installer to match shaft direction to the driven load without special ordering. Electricians and industrial mechanics typically handle installation in commercial and light industrial settings where three-phase service is present.

Key Features

• Premium-efficient three-phase design rated at 87.5 percent full load efficiency
• TEFC enclosure with cast iron frame for durability in harsh or dirty environments
• Dual-voltage operation at 230/460 volts for flexible installation across available service
• 182T frame with rigid mount for direct base-mount replacement or new installations
• Reversible motor rotation to suit varied driven-load configurations
• Class F insulation with a 1.15 service factor for tolerance of intermittent overloads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation motor for three-phase applications using the 182T rigid-mount frame standard. Also cross-references Dayton part number 5N799.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician familiar with three-phase motor wiring and NEC requirements for motor branch circuits. Disconnect and lock out all power before handling the motor or making any wiring connections. Verify that the available supply voltage matches the motor nameplate before connecting leads, and confirm proper overload protection is installed per NEC Article 430. Ensure the mounting base is level and rigid to prevent vibration-related bearing wear during operation.
