Performance & Design Highlights
The T1202 operates at 3,450 RPM, making it ideal for high-speed pump and compressor applications where maximum output is required. The dual-voltage winding (115/230V AC) provides installation flexibility, allowing the motor to be wired to match available power supply without the need for additional components.
The 1.20 service factor means the motor can handle occasional overloads beyond its rated 2 HP without damage, providing a built-in safety margin for demanding duty cycles. The sealed switch design protects internal centrifugal switch components from moisture and contaminants, extending service life in challenging environments.
Construction & Mounting
- The 56J frame with NEMA C face allows direct mounting to pumps and other C-face-compatible equipment
- Threaded shaft accommodates a wide range of couplings and pump impellers
- Open Drip-Proof (ODP) enclosure protects against vertically falling liquids and solid particles in indoor or sheltered outdoor installations
- Ball bearings provide low-friction, long-life operation with minimal maintenance
- Automatic thermal protector guards the motor windings against overheating
Typical Applications
- Jet pumps and shallow-well pump systems
- Centrifugal pumps
- Air compressors
- HVAC equipment replacement and retrofit
- General industrial machinery
