spec indicates this unit has a 1/3 hp motor, is this unit under powered?

I don't believe so. 1/3 hp is enough power to drill through anything I can think of assuming that the drill bit is even half sharp.

I haven't locked the motor up yet....but the belt will slip on a hard stop.

I'm not sure what you are asking, but if it is in reference to the horsepower- it really isn't important. I have had no problems concerning power. The unit is awesome!

Motor only has one speed so I suppose I would go with Standard efficiency. In paperwork received it should have amperage rating or wattage rating. If wattage, use watts power law to convert to amperage. P/IxE

the 3 hp motor is rated at 230 volts. I have mine on a dedicated 29 amp circuit

None of the other answers are correct. It's 900 Newtons DC, which is equivalent to about 0.8 (a touch better than 3/4 hp) AC motors you're comparing to.

Have to check the frame size spec. This a 5 hp only motor. My air compressor needed a nominal 7 hp. Had to resheave.

it is an 11 amp motor. no hp rating is shown on the outside. hp is misleading as there is constant and peak hp. compare the amp pull to other machines. this unit's suction is adequate. with the floor attachment in place, it lifts an area rug off the floor. i use the brushes with the floor attachment to make area rug cleaning easy. all-in-all this a very good, but not perfect, machine. read my review for more info.

I dunno, but it IS a pretty generic motor... just check the power & it should be fine.

You need to know the power the unit needs, look at the plateon the blower's motor.....the information is there.

This is a high speed machine. The company site gives the following specs: 120 volts, 1/2 Hp, 60 HZ, 3400 Rpm

We are in the process of installing ours now so I cannot answer on how well it works yet. According to the installation and operation manual, it can be installed for systems above and below 0.5 HP. Hope this helps.

that's what I saw also. I submitted my question to Poulan support via their email link on Jan 18th but have not received a response yet; will post here when/if I get one. I've tried to find a local hardware store that carries this model so that I could look at it but no luck. Its kind of confusing because there is also an ES350 model which is advertised as 3.5 hp. Also, on my 400E the part number on the motor housing lists it as 16" chain and bar which it isn't.

Mountain Dave, I see those specs on line also, and they don't make sense to me either, but, yes, according to the spec sheet enclosed with the pump, it's 3/4 hp and 120 volts. I have model CDU980E, same specs. If you "roll over" the Wayne label on the website which enlarges everything, it clearly shows 120v.

It depends on the size of the wire and the cord. It should work. That size pump should have a #10 or #12 size wire and it must be grounded. There is not that much difference between 1/3 HP and 1/2 HP power requirements. It would be best to ask the manufacturer of your pump to be sure. Good luck!

Hello Gail. It is a 500 watt motor and goes a steady 20 mph for me. I hope I have answered your question. Tony

Hi Christopher. No. I'm looking at the owner's manual and it says specifically: "Power supply requirement......120V, 60Hz" and on the box it says "1/4 HP 120v AC (3.8 amps). That's pretty straight forward I'd say!

If the motor that it is replacing is between 1/6-1/3 hp, under 2A max, 1075 rpm, and has a 48y frame. It should tell you the specs on the side of the old motor. Don't forget to get a corresponding capacitor to fit also.
