WP2 Motors For Sale
WP2 refers to weather protected type 2 electric motors that have enclosures designed to protect the interior components from normal outdoor environments. WP2 motors utilize screens and filters over the ventilation openings to prevent large particles and water from entering the motor. Since WP2 motors offer more protection than open motors, they are commonly used for pumps, fans, and other equipment exposed to moisture or dirt.
