1/2 hp Capacitor-Start Motor
This single-phase motor delivers 1/2 hp at 450 RPM with a 1.0 service factor. It operates on 115/208-230V AC at 60 Hz and draws 6.3 A at 115 V or 3.4-3.3 A at the higher voltages. The 48-frame design suits general-purpose industrial and agricultural machinery.
Dual-Voltage Wiring Flexibility
The motor accepts 115 V or 208-230 V supply, allowing installation in facilities with different service panels. Auto thermal protection resets automatically after an overload, reducing downtime. Continuous duty rating supports non-stop operation in conveyors, pumps or fans.
Rigid-Base Mounting Simplicity
Four mounting holes on the closed base align with standard 48-frame bolt patterns for quick replacement. Shaft rotation is reversible by swapping two leads, so the installer can match the driven equipment. Totally enclosed non-ventilated housing keeps out dust but requires ambient temperatures below 40 °C.

Questions about this item
How often will the capacitor in this 6K482 motor need replacement?
The capacitor is a wear item; plan to inspect it during routine maintenance and replace it if the motor struggles to start or hums without turning.
What thermal limit stops this 1/2 hp motor first during continuous duty?
The auto-reset thermal protector trips when internal winding temperature exceeds the Class B insulation limit at 40 °C ambient.
How much heat does the totally enclosed non-ventilated 48-frame motor add to a room running all day?
At full load it draws 6.3 A at 115 V or 3.3 A at 230 V, converting most of that power into heat inside the sealed frame.
