WEG B56 0499 Three Phase Industrial Grade AC Motor

The WEG B56 0499 Three Phase Industrial Grade AC Motor is a 1/2 HP, 6-pole TEFC, foot-mounted AC induction motor designed for continuous-duty operation in industrial equipment and systems, delivering reliable mechanical power for pumps, conveyors, fans, and other general-purpose machinery. It operates on 208-230/460 VAC, 3-phase, at 60 Hz, with an approximate speed of 1160 RPM (the 1200 RPM class), and a reversible shaft (CW/CCW) to accommodate bidirectional drives or different configurations. Configured on a B56 frame (NEMA 56 equivalent) with IP55 protection typical for WEG TEFC motors, this unit supports standardized mounting and stable torque for applications in industrial automation, HVAC equipment, and manufacturing drives; common replacements include Baldor 56-frame 1/2 HP motors, Leeson 56-frame motors, and Marathon Electric 56-frame general-purpose motors.
