Century SQ1302V1 Pool Motor

The Century SQ1302V1 Pool Motor is a 3 HP, single‑phase replacement motor designed for 208–230 V pool pumps, delivering a nominal 3 HP at 3450 RPM on standard 60 Hz service. Built on a 56Y frame with a square flange and threaded shaft, this Open Drip Proof (ODP) motor fits common square‑flange pool pump configurations and is sold under the Century (AO Smith) brand. It uses a capacitor‑start, run design and draws about 15.4 A at 230 V under full load, with a service factor of 1.15, making it a robust option for typical residential pool filtration setups. The SQ1302V1 is described in manufacturer and distributor literature as a two‑compartment square‑flange pool motor suitable for replacement on many 56Y‑frame pumps, aligning with standard mounting patterns and electrical requirements. This model is commonly used as a direct replacement in residential pool pumps, providing reliable operation for circulating and filtering water in inground or above‑ground pools.
