 All of these motors have a NEMA 56 footprint with variations as noted. They're rated for continuous duty and have ball bearings

(except for 5990K92 and 5990K94 , which have sleeve bearings), Class B insulation rated to 266° F (unless noted), and lead wires

for electrical connection (except for 5990K14 , 5990K17 , 5990K21 , 5990K92 , 5990K31 , and 5990K94 , which have a terminal

board electrical connection). The motors can be used in either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation; instructions are included. Full

load amps shown are at the motor's lowest voltage. Housing is steel.

 Single-Phase Motors— These motors have a "start" capacitor to boost the starting torque 200-400% of the rated load, unless

stated otherwise. They're more efficient than split-phase motors.

 Capacitor start/capacitor run motors have a "start" capacitor as well as a "run" capacitor for higher efficiency and lower operating

temperatures.

 Model 6223K49 is a permanent split-capacitor motor. It has a capacitor in the circuit to store energy and offer a low starting torque

that is 30-150% of the rated load. Use it for high-cycle applications such as direct-drive fans and blowers (it must be mounted in the

fan's airflow for proper cooling).

 Three-Phase Motors— Have higher starting torque, higher efficiency, and lower current draw compared to same size single-phase

motors. They usually don't need capacitors, switches, or relays for start-up and are better for heavy duty applications.

 Open dripproof (ODP) enclosures are for reasonably dry, clean, well-ventilated, and usually indoor environments. Totally

enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) enclosures offer greater protection from the environment than ODP models. They have no vent

openings and are cooled by an external fan. Though not airtight, they're suitable for nonhazardous, dirty, damp (but not washdown)

environments. Totally enclosed nonventilated (TENV) enclosures are similar to TEFC, but have lower hp and rely on cooling

without a fan. Totally enclosed air over (TEAO) enclosures are for use within the airflow of a blower or fan they're driving.

 Rigid-base motors have a heavy-gauge base that's welded to the housing for maximum support. Resilient-base motors have

rubber isolation rings between the motor mounting hubs and base to dampen vibration and shock.

rim so you can mount these motors directly to

equipment with a matching configuration. All are

are included. Full load amps shown are at the motor's

than split-phase motors. Capacitor start/capacitor run

motors have a "start" capacitor as well as a "run"
