Description
Meet a compact, versatile two-speed motor built around a 48Y frame and designed for 230V operation. This single-phase AC motor delivers two distinct speed options—3450 RPM at high speed and 1725 RPM at low speed—making it ideal for equipment that needs quick acceleration at one setting and controlled, steady operation at another without adding extra gear trains.
Key specifications at a glance:
- Horsepower: 3/4*1/8 HP
- RPM: 3450/1725
- Voltage: 230 V
- Current (Hi/Lo): 7.3 A / 2.6 A
- Service Factor: 1.65
- Frame: 48Y
- Approx. AG: 13-1/8
- Conduit Diameter: 41
- Notes: 2
Why this matters: The dual-speed capability gives you immediate flexibility in how you run your equipment. Use the high-speed setting for demanding start-ups or when you need faster belt or pulley-driven acceleration. Switch to the low-speed setting for finer control, reduced noise, and smoother operation on processes that don’t require maximum RPM—without compromising reliability.
Ideal applications include small conveyor drives, fans or blowers in compact HVAC configurations, light-duty pumps, and other machinery that benefits from a simple speed change without additional gearing or drive components. The 48Y frame ensures compatibility with a broad range of mounts, while the 230V single-phase design keeps wiring straightforward in standard industrial facilities.
Practical notes for setup and compatibility: this motor is configured for standard 48Y mounting, with a conduit connection suitable for typical electrical installations. The two RPM options align with common load profiles in small to mid-sized equipment, helping you tailor performance to your exact needs. If you’re stocking spares or upgrading existing lines, this motor offers the right blend of footprint, versatility, and dependable performance.
