Confirming the right replacement
Before we quote, compare these fields on your failed motor's nameplate. If any of them differ, send us a photo of the nameplate and we'll match it exactly rather than guessing:
- Full model number — including any suffix letters
- HP, RPM, and voltage
- Frame size (e.g. 284T) and enclosure (TEFC, ODP, etc.)
- Full-load amps
