Product details
The Century B2840V1 is a 2.5 HP pool pump motor for 230V, built in a 56 frame with an ODP square flange body and a PSC switchless design.
Reading the nameplate
Frame and flange are what decide whether a motor bolts on. This one is a 56 frame with a square flange, the mount used across a wide range of pool pumps. ODP means open drip proof, a vented enclosure shielded against dripping water. PSC means permanent split capacitor, and switchless means there is no centrifugal start switch inside to stick or burn.
Before ordering
Compare horsepower, voltage, frame and flange against the motor you are taking off, and plan on a new shaft seal while the pump is apart.
