6-Inch Encapsulated Volt-X Dual Voltage Motor

Franklin’s 6-inch dual voltage motor is typically used in large, demanding water wells requiring high flow rates or deeper installations. These motors are tough, built to last and come in a variety of construction options. 6-inch Volt-X motors are built with a unique dual voltage feature offering power supply flexibility. The 6-inch dual voltage motor utilizes an innovative voltage change device that allows the motor to be connected for operation in either 230 V or 460 V, three-phase, 60 Hz power supplies. The voltage exchange device has been meticulously developed for ease of removal and a watertight seal every time.
