Leeson

Leeson 191208.00 Washdown Motor 3/4 hp 1740 RPM 230/460 V AC 56C Frame

SKU CH-5JX5-XAEQC

Three-phase washdown motor delivers 3/4 hp at 1,740 RPM in a 56C frame for 230/460 V AC operation

  • 3/4 hp power for demanding washdown tasks
  • 1740 RPM three-phase speed for consistent output
  • Dual 230/460 V AC voltage fits multiple supplies
  • 56C C-Face mount simplifies direct coupling
  • Totally enclosed non-ventilated design resists moisture ingress

Washdown Motor 3/4 hp 56C Frame

This Leeson 191208.00 is a three-phase washdown motor rated at 3/4 hp with a nameplate speed of 1740 RPM. It suits food-processing, packaging or pharmaceutical equipment that demands a totally enclosed non-ventilated enclosure for frequent cleaning cycles.

C-Face Mounting and Dual Voltage

The 56C frame provides a standard C-face mounting pattern for direct coupling to gearboxes or pumps without a separate base. Dual 230/460 V AC windings allow wiring for either supply, and the motor is also usable at 208 V though not at 200 V.

Service Factor and Thermal Limits

A 1.15 service factor permits occasional overload within the 40 °C maximum ambient temperature. The motor carries Class F insulation but has no built-in thermal protection, so external overload devices must be supplied by the installer for continuous duty applications.

Questions about this item

Does the 230/460 V three-phase supply set a hard limit on the variable-frequency drive I can use?

The motor is rated for 230/460 V AC three-phase at 60/50 Hz with a 1.15 service factor; any VFD must match that voltage and frequency range and be sized for the 2.4/1.2 A full-load current.

Will the 56C C-face mount bolt directly to my existing gearbox flange?

The motor uses a standard NEMA 56C C-face mounting pattern with a 5/8-inch diameter shaft; verify your gearbox flange matches the 56C bolt circle and pilot dimensions before ordering.

What wiring step is most often missed when switching between 230 V and 460 V operation?

The nine-lead dual-voltage winding requires reconfiguring the internal lead connections for either low-voltage (230 V) or high-voltage (460 V) operation; follow the connection diagram on the nameplate exactly to avoid phase imbalance.
