U.S. MOTORS / NIDEC E183 CE88 – 3/4 HP INDUSTRIAL MOTOR
3/4 HP | 208-230/460V | 3-Phase | 1750 RPM | NEMA 56 | Motor Module
For sale is a U.S. MOTORS / Nidec E183, Model CE88, 3/4 HP industrial 3-phase electric motor.
This is not just a basic general-purpose motor. The E183 is a Motor Module replacement motor specifically designed for industrial drive applications, including compatible U.S. MOTORS gear reducers with tapered input shafts.
With 3/4 HP output, 1750 RPM speed, 208-230/460V capability, continuous-duty rating, and a totally enclosed construction, this motor is an excellent replacement for compatible gear reducers, conveyors, material-handling equipment, production machinery, and other industrial drive systems.
The motor can be wired for LOW VOLTAGE 208-230V operation or HIGH VOLTAGE 460V operation according to the connection diagram on the motor nameplate.

WEIGHT & SIZE
Motor Weight: Approx. 26 lb
NEMA Frame Size: 56
Mounting: Special Motor Module configuration
Because the E183 is a special Motor Module rather than a standard general-purpose foot-mounted motor, buyers should verify the mounting dimensions and tapered-shaft/reducer interface against their existing equipment before purchasing.
For shipping purposes, the bare motor weighs approximately 26 lb. Allow additional weight and dimensions for protective packaging.
230/240V 3-PHASE OPERATION
This motor is suitable for facilities with approximately 240V 3-phase power.
For operation from a 208-240V 3-phase supply, the motor must be connected according to the manufacturer’s LOW VOLTAGE wiring diagram.
Nameplate current is approximately:
2.8A @ 208-230V
At 460V, full-load current is approximately:
1.4A @ 460V
CIRCUIT BREAKER INFORMATION
For a typical 208-240V 3-phase installation using an inverse-time circuit breaker, a common branch-circuit configuration is:
15A – 3-Pole Circuit Breaker
Typical installation:
208-240V 3-Phase Supply → 15A 3-Pole Breaker → Motor Starter/Contactor → Properly Sized Motor Overload → U.S. MOTORS E183
The circuit breaker provides branch-circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protection.
The circuit breaker does not replace motor overload protection.
The motor should be connected through properly selected overload protection based on the motor nameplate, service factor, starter design, and applicable electrical code.
Final breaker size, conductor size, overload setting, disconnect, starter, and short-circuit rating should always be verified for the actual installation.
IDEAL APPLICATIONS
This U.S. MOTORS / Nidec E183 is ideal for:
Compatible U.S. MOTORS gear reducers
Gearboxes with compatible tapered input shafts
Conveyor drive systems
Material-handling equipment
Packaging machinery
Production equipment
Industrial automation equipment
Small industrial drive systems
Manufacturing machinery
Replacement Motor Module applications
OEM industrial equipment
IMPORTANT APPLICATION ADVANTAGE
The E183 is specifically designed as a Motor Module, making it especially valuable to a buyer who already has a compatible U.S. MOTORS gear reducer.
Instead of replacing an entire motor-and-gearbox assembly, the E183 can be used as a replacement motor module when the existing reducer, mounting system, shaft interface, voltage, horsepower, and speed specifications match.
This makes the motor particularly useful as a direct industrial replacement part.
