Why 230 V Is the Industrial Standard
230 V motors strike the perfect middle ground between low-voltage commercial systems and 460 V plant-wide grids.
They deliver balanced torque, manageable current draw, and broad compatibility with most industrial switchgear and MCC setups.
Plug-and-Play Compatibility Works with most 208–240 V 3-phase systems.
High Efficiency Meets or exceeds NEMA Premium® IE3 standards.
VFD-Ready Optimized for inverter-duty control.
Compact Footprint Ideal for OEMs and retrofit projects.
Proven Availability Standardized components across North America.
Enclosure Options
Frame materials include Cast Iron for rigidity, Stainless Steel for corrosion resistance, and Fabricated Steel for OEM flexibility.
Mounting Configurations
Foot Mount Horizontal installations for pumps, fans & compressors.
C-Face Mount Close-coupled gearbox or pump drives.
D-Flange Mount Vertical coupling to reducers or machinery.
Vertical P-Base Deep-well pumps & agitators.
Typical Applications
Conveyors and material-handling systems
Process pumps and compressors
HVAC fans and air circulation units
OEM machinery and automation cells
Agricultural equipment and grain systems
Packaging and assembly lines
230 V motors are the go-to power source for operations requiring reliable, easily serviced three-phase performance.
