[TowerTalk] FW: Replacement crank up motor

[Matt]

Hi Julio,

Pretty much any standard, general purpose TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled)
NEMA frame 56 motor of the same RPM & fractional HP should work fine.  If
you don't have the original I think the original was 3/4 HP 1750 RPM -
someone chime in here if they know differently.  Be sure that its reversible
(almost all are now days) and single phase (120V or 120V/240V if you plan to
wire it for 240V).

Email me if you have wiring questions.

I think I have a client with a bad crank up motor on a 55' US Tower. Has
anyone out there had to replace one of these and if so where you able to
find a suitable replacement at a place like Grainger. If you have a brand,
model or part number that would be much appreciated.

 

Julio, W4HY
