Us Motors WD32S2AHC 1.5 Hp Tefc Ac Motor 56HC Frame

Product Description

The US MOTORS WD32S2AHC is a three-phase, energy-efficient AC motor built for demanding industrial and washdown applications. Rated at 1.5 horsepower and 1725 RPM at 60 Hz, it runs in a totally enclosed, fan-cooled (TEFC) enclosure that resists moisture and contamination. The steel frame carries a 56HC designation with a combination Base and C-Face mount, making it a straightforward fit for driven equipment that requires face-mount alignment. Class F insulation, a 1.15 service factor, and an 84.2 percent full-load efficiency rating give this motor the thermal and operational headroom needed in continuous-duty environments. Ball bearings support the shaft, and the motor is reversible for flexible installation.

This motor is rated for washdown environments, where moisture exposure and periodic cleaning are routine. The TEFC enclosure keeps contaminants away from internal windings, making it well suited for food processing equipment, pump drives, conveyor systems, and similar commercial or light-industrial machinery. The 56HC frame size is a common footprint in the trade, and the dual Base and C-Face mount style accommodates both direct-coupled and belt-driven loads. A licensed electrician or qualified motor technician typically handles installation in three-phase service applications.

Installation Notes

Three-phase motor installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 430 and applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out all power before removing the existing motor or making any wiring connections. Verify that supply voltage and phase rotation match the motor nameplate before energizing. Do not exceed the motor's rated ambient operating temperature of 40 degrees F minimum without verifying thermal suitability at the installation site.
