Worldwide Electric NATE1.5-18-56CB Tefc Motor 1.5 Hp

Product Description

The WORLDWIDE ELECTRIC NATE1.5-18-56CB is a 1.5 HP three-phase totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motor built on a NEMA 56C frame with a C-face mount and removable base. Rated at 1800 RPM with a dual voltage configuration of 230/460 volts and 60/50 Hz compatibility, this motor is engineered for general-purpose industrial applications requiring reliable, continuous-duty performance. It draws 2.26 full load amps and delivers 86.5 percent efficiency, meeting NEMA Premium efficiency standards. Class F insulation and an IP55 ingress protection rating give it solid resistance to dust and moisture in demanding environments. Service factor is 1.15, providing built-in overload headroom. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This motor is suited for light industrial and commercial applications where a NEMA 56C C-face mount is required, including fans, pumps, compressors, and conveyor drives. The removable base adds flexibility for direct-drive or base-mount configurations. Dual voltage capability at 230/460 volts allows use on either single-phase-equivalent three-phase branch circuits common in light commercial settings or standard 460-volt industrial power distribution. The 60/50 Hz rating also makes it compatible with both North American and international power supplies where applicable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any wiring connections or mounting the motor. Verify that supply voltage and phase configuration match the motor nameplate before applying power. Confirm that mounting hardware is properly torqued and that shaft alignment is verified before startup on belted or coupled applications.
