Manual Reset Switch: Protects your motor! If it gets too hot or overloaded, this easy-to-use switch safely shuts it off. Simply let it cool down and reset it by hand – no tools needed. Saves time and prevents damage.
High Starting Torque: Starts strong under heavy loads. Perfect for powering equipment like grain augers, feed conveyors, water pumps, and ventilation fans that need a powerful kick to get moving.
Farm Duty Tough: Farms are tough places – dusty grain bins, damp mornings, temperature swings, and vibration from heavy equipment. Our Farm Duty motor is built with extra protection against dust and moisture getting inside. Its heavy-duty construction handles bumps and vibrations better than standard motors.
NEMA 56C Frame: A common, standard size makes this motor easy to fit and replace in many existing farm machines and applications.
Handles Real Farm Power: Electrical power on farms isn’t always perfect. This motor is designed to tolerate the voltage fluctuations that can happen in rural areas better than many standard motors.
Extra Power Margin (Service Factor 1.15): Built stronger than needed. This 1.15 Service Factor means the motor can safely handle occasional, temporary overloads up to 15% above its rated horsepower without damage. Peace of mind for unpredictable farm demands.
Inverter Ready for Efficiency & Control (Inverter Duty): Designed for use with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs / Inverters). Offers:
4:1 Constant Torque Range: Maintains full pulling power at low speeds (down to 15 Hz) – ideal for conveyors, mixers, or other loads needing strong torque even when running slow.
10:1 Variable Torque Range: Optimized for pumps and fans (down to 6 Hz), where load reduces significantly at lower speeds, enabling major energy savings.
