Century Motors E397M2 Motor
The Century Motors E397M2 is a high-performance 10 HP three-phase electric motor designed for industrial-grade applications requiring a 215T frame size. Operating at 1755 RPM with a dual-voltage 230/460V rating, this motor features a rolled steel construction and ball bearings for sustained reliability in belt-driven or direct-coupled HVACR systems. The Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure allows for optimized airflow and cooling, making it suitable for clean, indoor environments. This model is the direct replacement for the legacy E397 and E301M motors, engineered to meet or exceed current efficiency mandates. With a 1.15 service factor and Class F insulation, it provides the thermal overhead necessary for continuous duty on pumps, industrial fans, and centrifugal blowers. The 6:1 variable torque rating further ensures compatibility with modern frequency drives for precise air and fluid handling control.
Key Benefits:
- Broad Compatibility: Direct replacement for Century E397, AO Smith E301M, and various 215T frame NEMA motors from Baldor, Marathon, and GE.
- Enhanced Efficiency: Built to meet federal energy standards, reducing operational costs in high-duty cycle industrial settings.
- HVACR Optimized: Supports 6:1 Variable Torque, making it an ideal candidate for variable frequency drive (VFD) applications in air handling and pumping.
- Industrial Durability: Features ball bearing construction and rigid base mounting for stable, long-term performance under continuous duty.
- Dual Frequency Versatility: Rated for 60 Hz at 10 HP but can support 50 Hz operations at the next lower horsepower rating.
Common Questions:
What was updated from the original E397 model?
The E397M2 is the current production version featuring updated internal windings and materials to satisfy modern industrial efficiency standards while maintaining the same 215T frame dimensions for a drop-in fit.
Can this motor be used with a VFD?
Yes, the Century Motors E397M2 is rated for 6:1 variable torque, allowing it to be used with variable frequency drives in HVACR blower and centrifugal pump applications where speed modulation is required.
Is this motor reversible?
While the standard factory rotation is Counter Clockwise (CCW) from the drive end, this three-phase motor is technically reversible by swapping any two power leads at the connection terminal.
