Us Motors C5P2B 5 Hp Three Phase Ac Motor 184T Tefc

Product Description

The US MOTORS C5P2B is a three-phase, premium-efficient AC motor built for demanding general-purpose industrial and commercial applications. Rated at 5 horsepower and 1755 RPM, it runs on 230/460 volts at 60 Hz with full-load amperage of 12.5 amps at 230 volts or 6.3 amps at 460 volts. The cast iron TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled) enclosure protects internal components from dust, moisture, and debris in harsh environments. A 184T frame with rigid mount configuration provides straightforward installation on standard motor bases and equipment. Insulation Class F and a 1.15 service factor give the motor thermal headroom for intermittent overload conditions. Dual-voltage wiring makes it adaptable to either 230-volt or 460-volt three-phase supply circuits.

The C5P2B is suited for general-purpose applications including pumps, fans, compressors, conveyor drives, and other industrial machinery requiring a reliable three-phase motor. The reversible rotation allows the installer to match shaft direction to the driven load without sourcing a dedicated unidirectional unit. The rigid mount style is common in fixed-base equipment installations across light manufacturing, HVAC mechanical rooms, and agricultural facilities. Ball bearings support both radial and moderate axial loads across the speed range at a single operating speed.

Key Features

• 5 HP output at 1755 RPM nameplate speed on a 60 Hz three-phase supply
• TEFC cast iron enclosure rated for wet, dusty, and abrasive environments
• Dual-voltage design: 230/460 volts with corresponding 12.5/6.3 amp full-load current
• Class F insulation with 1.15 service factor for sustained operation near rated load
• Reversible rotation for flexible installation configurations
• NEMA 184T rigid-mount frame for standard motor-base compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation motor for general-purpose three-phase applications using a NEMA 184T rigid-mount frame. Also cross-references Dayton part number 5N807.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician familiar with NEC three-phase motor installation requirements. De-energize and lock out the supply circuit before making any wiring connections or mounting adjustments. Confirm supply voltage matches the selected winding configuration on the motor nameplate before energizing. Verify coupling alignment and belt tension before first start to prevent premature bearing wear.
