Description
1 HP 48Y Frame Dual-Speed Motor with Square Flange — 230V, 3450/1725 RPM, SF 1.65
The 1 HP 48Y Frame Dual-Speed Motor with Square Flange is a compact, reliable drive designed for pool and spa equipment where space is at a premium and versatility matters. Built by trusted brand A.O. Smith (AOS) / Century Electrical, it delivers two speeds in one robust unit for streamlined operation and easy retrofit.
- Power & speeds: Dual-speed operation with high speed 3450 RPM and low speed 1725 RPM to match throughput needs and torque requirements.
- Voltage & current: Operation at 230V with high/low current draws of 9.5 A and 2.5 A, respectively, for adaptable performance profiles.
- Frame & mounting: 48Y frame coupled with a square flange for straightforward, repeatable mounting and easy integration with gearboxes or driven components.
- Service Factor: Service Factor of 1.65 provides extra headroom for startup surges and short overloads, enhancing reliability in demanding environments.
- Dimensions & connection: Approx. AG length of 13-13/16 in and shaft connection diameter of Ø41 mm, helping ensure proper fit in existing spaces.
- Application fit: Ideal for spa pumps, pool equipment, and compact industrial drives where a single motor covers both high-throughput and torque-sensitive operations.
This motor’s square-flange design and standard 48Y footprint make it a practical retrofit choice for upgrading existing lines or integrating into new pool and spa installations. The dual-speed capability reduces inventory needs by enabling both high-speed driving and torque-focused operation from one unit, while the rugged construction ensures stable performance in wet, demanding environments. For spa applications, you’ll benefit from efficient water circulation, quieter operation at lower speeds, and the flexibility to adapt to changing duty cycles without hardware changes.
