Choosing an industrial motor quickly becomes a battle between voltage, phase, frame size, and duty rating. Do you need a simple replacement for a fan, or a heavy 3-phase motor that can handle an overload? The four motors here are very different tools rather than direct alternatives, and their listed prices span from $24.99 to $574.95. This guide helps you map your application to the right option without overbuying.
Quick take
- YYF96-60-6 Replacement Motor: an induction motor aimed at fan or trimmer replacement.
- Gast 1000055624 Industrial Electric Motor / Pump: a Gast unit where the model number is the key buying point.
- 2 HP General Electric Motor: a 2 HP three-phase motor with fan cooling.
- 5 HP Severe Duty Motor: a 5 HP three-phase motor with a severe-duty design.

The four motors up close
YYF96-60-6 60watt 110V 60hz 1.0A Replacement Electric Motor For Fan Or Trimmer
This replacement motor is a 110V, 60Hz, 1A induction unit rated at 60 watts, with a 6-wire connection and a 1250 RPM rating. If you're repairing a fan or trimmer that uses this style of motor, the single-phase design works with a 110V supply, and the 6-wire connection gives you a defined hookup pattern. It's a focused part for a narrow job, which makes it easy to compare against the original motor you're taking off.
The limitation is the power ceiling. At 60 watts, this motor isn't intended for industrial loads. It suits a fan or trimmer, not a conveyor or pump. You get a specific replacement, not a general-purpose workhorse.
Gast 1000055624 Industrial Electric Motor / Pump
This open-box Gast motor/pump carries the model number 1000055624 and is described as a new, ready-for-service unit from the U.S. The decision to buy it rests almost entirely on whether that model number matches what your setup needs. If you already know the Gast model, the open-box status gives you a direct way to get that exact motor/pump package.
The trade-off is that the description focuses on the Gast model and condition, not on a described workflow. The motor/pump is known by that model number, so the purchase makes sense when you already understand what the model is for.
2 HP General Electric Motor 3 Phase 56C Frame 1800 RPM TEFC 230 / 460 Volt New
This 2 HP motor uses a 56C frame, a TEFC enclosure, and 230/460V three-phase wiring, with fan cooling, Class F insulation, and inverter-rated construction. That makes it a useful pick for a shop that already has 3-phase power and needs a 2 HP motor on a 56C frame. The C-face removable base adds flexibility if your setup uses that style.
The limitation is in the power supply: it's a three-phase motor, so a standard 110V single-phase outlet won't run it. It's also a 2 HP motor, so if your equipment demands 5 HP, you'll need the larger model in this lineup.
1800 RPM 5 HP Electric Motor 184T Frame TEFC 230/460V Severe Duty 3 Phase
This severe-duty motor is a 5 HP three-phase unit built on a 184T frame with a TEFC/IP55 enclosure. It is rated to handle a 25% overload, uses a 1.15 service factor, and has bidirectional rotation, making it a stronger candidate for demanding applications. The 230/460V wiring and 104 lb weight point to a serious piece of equipment rather than a small replacement motor.
The trade-off is size and power. A 184T frame and 104 lb weight make it a bulky motor, and 5 HP is more than a 2 HP machine needs. Unless your job specifically calls for 5 HP on a 184T frame, this motor can be more than you need.
Final recommendation by use case
- If you have a fan or trimmer replacement, the YYF96-60-6 is the motor to compare first.
- If you recognize the Gast 1000055624 model, that's your match.
- For 2 HP three-phase work, the 2 HP General Electric Motor is the one to choose.
- For heavy 5 HP three-phase loads, the 5 HP Severe Duty Motor is the one to build around.
