Overview
The WorldWide Electric NATE1-38-56CB is a general-purpose, three-phase induction motor engineered for demanding industrial applications. With 1 horsepower output at 3600 RPM, this motor offers efficient, continuous-duty performance in a compact 56C frame. The TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled) enclosure provides protection from dust, moisture, and harsh environments, making it suitable for manufacturing, machinery, and equipment requiring reliable motion control.
Key Features
- 1 HP output at 3600 RPM for high-speed applications
- TEFC enclosure protects against dust, moisture, and contaminants
- C-face mounting with removable base for quick installation and alignment
- Dual-voltage capability (208–230/460V) supports multiple electrical systems
- NEMA general-purpose design meets industry standards for reliability
- Three-phase design delivers smooth, continuous torque
Technical Specifications
This motor is built to standard NEMA general-purpose specifications for industrial use. The 56C frame size is a widely recognized standard, ensuring compatibility with common mechanical systems and couplings. The C-face design with removable base allows for versatile mounting configurations, from pump and compressor applications to direct-drive machinery.
