Allen-Bradley 182TC Variable Frequency AC Motor

Allen-Bradley 182TC Variable Frequency AC Motor is a three-phase inverter-duty motor in the 182TC frame that provides reliable variable-speed control when paired with a compatible VFD. This 3 HP motor is rated for 230/460 V operation and supports 50/60 Hz input, with a base speed of 1,800 RPM at 60 Hz (1,500 RPM at 50 Hz). The TEFC enclosure protects windings and bearings in demanding industrial environments, while the frame accepts both C-face and foot-mount configurations for flexible installation. As an inverter-driven design, it is well-suited to applications requiring smooth torque across a broad speed range, such as pumps, fans, and conveyors, and it integrates into Rockwell Automation drive ecosystems for programmable speed profiles when used with Allen-Bradley VFDs. The 182TC frame is a standard NEMA designation, simplifying replacement and retrofit in existing equipment.
