Description
The Century T1072 is a heavy-duty, single-phase capacitor start motor engineered for demanding HVAC and commercial pump applications. Built around a robust 56J frame with a NEMA C face mount, this motor installs quickly and reliably on a wide range of equipment — from jet pumps to compressors and fan assemblies.
Motor Overview
Designed for continuous duty service, the T1072 delivers 3/4 horsepower at 3,450 RPM, making it ideal for high-speed pump and blower applications. The dual-voltage rating of 115/230V AC gives installers the flexibility to wire for either standard residential or commercial supply voltages. A 1.50 service factor provides a built-in performance margin for occasional overload conditions.
