460 Volt Three-Phase Electric Motors
460-volt electric motors are the North American industrial standard for three-phase power — delivering maximum efficiency, torque stability, and reliability across thousands of applications.
They’re used in manufacturing, oil & gas, water treatment, sawmills, and material-handling systems where consistent heavy-duty performance is essential.
Available in Open Drip Proof (ODP), Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC), and Explosion-Proof (TEXP) configurations, all 460 V models meet NEMA Premium® efficiency and are VFD-ready for adjustable-speed operation.

Why 460 V Motors Are the Industry Standard
460 V is the default voltage for most medium and large facilities, making these motors the most readily available and cost-efficient option for industrial operations.
Enclosure Options
Frame materials are offered in Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, and Fabricated Steel depending on application and environmental exposure.
Mounting Styles
Typical Applications
Pumps, blowers, and compressors
Conveyor and material-handling systems
Sawmills and aggregate machinery
Mixers and agitators
Water and wastewater treatment systems
Manufacturing and process lines
460 V motors are trusted for continuous-duty performance in mission-critical systems where uptime matters.
Performance & Efficiency
All 460 V motors feature:
Class F insulation with 1.15 service factor
Precision-balanced rotors for vibration control
Sealed bearings for low maintenance
Thermal overload protection
VFD-ready windings with inverter-duty insulation
These ensure long lifespan, low operating cost, and seamless integration with automation systems.
