Description
The Century H506 is a rugged, three-phase general purpose motor engineered for demanding HVAC and industrial applications. Built on a 56J frame with a NEMA “C” face mounting configuration, this motor delivers reliable performance across a wide range of equipment installations.
Motor Overview
Designed for versatility and durability, the H506 operates on 208-230/460V three-phase power and features a 1.40 service factor, allowing it to handle occasional overload conditions without compromising motor life. The open drip-proof (ODP) enclosure provides ventilation while protecting internal components from dripping liquids in standard indoor environments. Double sealed ball bearings ensure long-lasting, low-maintenance operation even in continuous-duty applications.
