Us Motors D1CA3JH9 Ac Motor 1 Hp Odp 56H Cradle Mount

Product Description

The US MOTORS D1CA3JH9 is a capacitor start, capacitor run AC motor designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Rated at 1 horsepower and housed in an open drip-proof (ODP) enclosure, it delivers reliable torque characteristics suited to pump, fan, and compressor loads. The motor features a 56H frame size with cradle mounting and carries a Class B insulation rating. Full load amperage is 12.6 amps on the low-voltage connection and 6.4 to 6.3 amps on the high-voltage connection. At 42 pounds, this is a substantial unit intended for stationary installations where conduit and mounting provisions are already in place.

This motor is suited to light industrial, agricultural, and commercial mechanical applications requiring a robust ODP-enclosed motor in a standard 56H frame. Typical install scenarios include replacement of failed OEM motors on pumps, air handlers, compressors, and general-purpose belt-drive equipment. The cradle mount configuration accommodates standard cradle brackets used in many original equipment installations, simplifying direct replacement work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified mechanical technician. Disconnect and lock out all power before removing the existing motor or making any wiring connections. Verify supply voltage matches the motor nameplate before energizing, and confirm the cradle bracket dimensions are compatible before mounting. Follow applicable NEC requirements for motor branch circuit protection and grounding.
