Us Motors WDP3P2AC 3 Hp Tefc Ac Motor 182 Frame C-face

Product Description

The US MOTORS WDP3P2AC is a three-phase, premium efficient AC motor rated at 3 horsepower and designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications. It runs at 1765 RPM nameplate speed on a 60 Hz supply and accepts dual-voltage wiring at 208 to 230 volts or 460 volts, giving installers flexibility across common three-phase services. The motor uses a TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled) enclosure mounted on a 182 frame with a C-Face and base configuration. Double sealed ball bearings and a Class F insulation rating support continuous-duty operation in wet and contaminated environments. A licensed electrician or millwright typically handles installation and commissioning.

This motor is rated for food processing applications where washdown conditions, moisture exposure, and sanitation requirements demand a robust enclosure. The stainless steel frame construction resists corrosion in these environments. The C-Face with base mount allows direct coupling to pumps, conveyors, mixers, and similar driven equipment. At a 1.00 service factor, the motor is sized to run at full rated load without a built-in overload buffer, so proper load sizing is essential during application engineering.

Key Features

• 3 HP premium efficient three-phase output at 1765 nameplate RPM
• TEFC enclosure rated for wet and washdown environments
• Dual-voltage capability: 208 to 230 volts or 460 volts, 60 Hz
• Stainless steel frame construction for corrosion resistance in food processing
• C-Face with base mount on NEMA 182 frame for broad drivetrain compatibility
• Double sealed ball bearings for reduced maintenance intervals
• Class F insulation with no thermal protection device installed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation motor for three-phase industrial applications requiring a NEMA 182 frame, C-Face with base mount, and TEFC enclosure, particularly in food processing environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified millwright in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Disconnect and lock out all power sources before handling motor wiring or mounting hardware. Verify that the supply voltage and phase match the motor nameplate before energizing. Because no thermal protection device is installed, an appropriately sized external overload relay or motor starter must be used to protect the motor from sustained overload conditions.
