Us Motors USMOTOR-T2C2P18 General Purpose Motor 2HP 182T

Product Description

The US MOTORS USMOTOR-T2C2P18 is a 2 HP single-phase general purpose AC motor rated for continuous duty across a wide range of light industrial and commercial applications. It operates on 115/230V AC at 60 Hz and delivers a nameplate speed of 1,740 RPM with a capacitor-start design for reliable starting torque. The motor features a totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) enclosure and a rigid base mount, making it suitable for environments where dust and debris are present. The output shaft measures 1-1/8 inches in diameter by 2-5/8 inches in length and is keyed for secure drive coupling. Licensed HVAC technicians, millwrights, and general maintenance professionals typically install this motor type.

This motor is suited for general purpose applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Typical installations include fans, blowers, pumps, compressors, and conveyor drives where a single-phase power supply is available. The 182T NEMA frame size allows direct drop-in mounting on equipment built to that frame standard. Bidirectional shaft rotation (CW/CCW) adds flexibility when the motor must be positioned to match existing drive configurations. The 40 degrees C maximum ambient rating is appropriate for most mechanical room and indoor utility installations.

Key Features

• Capacitor-start design provides strong starting torque for hard-starting loads
• Totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) enclosure resists dust, debris, and moisture ingress
• Rigid base mounting with metal foot base welded or cast integral to the motor shell
• Reversible shaft rotation (CW/CCW) supports flexible installation orientation
• Keyed output shaft (1-1/8 inches diameter, 2-5/8 inches length) for positive drive coupling
• CSA Certified and UR Listed for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct upgrade for equipment requiring a 182T NEMA frame, single-phase, 2 HP, 1,740 RPM rigid base motor with a capacitor-start configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed mechanical contractor. Disconnect and lock out all power before removing the existing motor or making any wiring connections. Verify the supply voltage matches the motor nameplate before energizing, and confirm the motor base and mounting hardware are torqued securely to prevent vibration-related damage. Wiring must comply with the NEC and any applicable local codes for motor branch circuit protection and disconnecting means.
