Well, I can't get any info off the motor as of now, I assume its in and running properly BUT the "motor" or what I meant by it was an entire pool pump itself. The owner took out one and is replacing the unit complete. I DO remember the motor said " 3/4 H.P , 115 / 230V, 16.5, 8.25A, S.F 1.85"..
The pump was manufactured by Hayward and thats what was on the pump rating plate, but the motor did look identical to pump motors that I have seen made by Franklin Electric.
Oh, this pump as far as I know is started and stopped 1-2 times a day, no overloads except for the thermal built right into the motor..
Off topic a bit, I have a Hayward pump on my pool that HAD a Franklin motor on it but 2 years into its life it decided to fail violently by spitting smoke, fire, spare parts and molten lava out the vents.. I opted for the more expensive route and changed out the motor only with one of those " switchless" ones made by Magnetek
( switchless as in no centrifugal switch or start winding, just 2 identical windings with a capacitor in series with one).. This motor I like for the #1 reason there is no centrifugal switch to stick open but it seems quieter, starts quicker and at the same time does not cause such a flicker in the house when it starts.
The old Franklin I believe was rated 1 H.P, 115 / 230V, 16.0 8.0 A, S.F of 1
The new Magnetek is rated 1 H.P, 115/ 230V, 14.4 / 7.2 A with a S.F of 1.4
