Farm Duty Motor 1-1/2 HP
The Leeson 110495.00 is a single-phase capacitor-start/run motor rated at 1-1/2 HP and 1,725 RPM. It operates on 115/208-230V AC at 60 Hz with a 56C frame and face mounting for horizontal installation. The unit is designed for continuous duty in agricultural and industrial blower applications.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
Totally enclosed fan-cooled construction limits ingress while moving air across the frame for cooling. Insulation Class F and a 40 °C maximum ambient temperature support steady operation at full load. Manual thermal protection requires operator intervention if an overload occurs.
Sustained Load Behaviour
A 1.15 service factor provides a 15 % margin above nameplate horsepower for intermittent peak demands. Full-load current is 17.2 A at 115 V or 8.8-8.6 A at 208-230 V, and the motor is usable at 208 V but not at 200 V. Continuous duty cycle rating confirms suitability for prolonged blower runs without derating.

Questions about this item
How do I wire the 56C frame motor for 115 V versus 208-230 V, and which terminal block connections do installers often reverse?
The motor accepts 115 V or 208-230 V AC; follow the internal connection diagram on the nameplate to set the dual-voltage leads correctly, as reversing the start and run winding leads is the most common wiring error.
What ongoing maintenance does the manual thermal protection and TEFC enclosure require on this 1-1/2 HP farm duty motor?
Periodically clean the fan cover and cooling fins to maintain airflow, and manually reset the thermal protector after an overload trip; the sealed bearings are lubricated for life and need no re-greasing.
At what point does the 1.15 service factor limit continuous operation when ambient temperature reaches 40 °C?
The 1.15 service factor allows brief overloads, but at the maximum 40 °C ambient you must not exceed the 17.2 A (115 V) or 8.6 A (230 V) full-load current continuously, or the manual thermal protector will trip.
