LiftMaster 20-3200C-4TP TEFC Three-Phase Motor — Verify 2 HP Manufacturer Specification
The LiftMaster 20-3200C-4TP is listed in manufacturer catalog information as a 2 HP, 230/460 V, three-phase, CF/TEFC motor. The supplied product title instead says 1-1/2 HP, so that rating conflict must be resolved against the current delivered motor nameplate and exact operator recommendation before purchase. Do not select the motor solely from the shortened source title. Select the replacement by the complete part number and the installed equipment configuration. A similar photograph or a shared LiftMaster brand name does not establish interchangeability. Confirm the applicable service drawing before ordering so the repair addresses the correct component and its related mounting, connection and operating requirements.
Compatibility — Models, Versions and Exclusions
| Model or selection point | Compatibility requirement |
|---|---|
| Approved operator motor reference | Confirm the current 20-3200C-4TP service recommendation. |
| Horsepower conflict | Resolve manufacturer 2 HP versus source 1-1/2 HP wording. |
| Supply and wiring | Verify actual voltage, phase and approved connections. |
| Mechanical mounting | Confirm shaft, mounting, speed and drive requirements before ordering. |
Identify the Assembly and Plan the Repair
Have qualified service personnel assess the motor, supply and driven equipment before choosing the repair. A failed motor can accompany excessive load, electrical faults or a damaged transmission. Obtain the actual motor nameplate and full operator label and have the supplier confirm the current assembly and rating in writing when resolving the catalog-title difference.
TEFC identifies a motor enclosure construction, not a new environmental rating for the entire operator. No unlisted speed, shaft dimension or universal upgrade is inferred here. Follow the exact wiring and protection requirements and restore the approved drive arrangement. A higher horsepower description does not authorize increasing the door or gate capacity. Complete the prescribed electrical and operating tests after installation.
An electrical symptom does not identify the failed component by itself. Have qualified service personnel inspect the supply, wiring, connections and equipment condition before replacing parts. Record existing labels and terminal references with power safely isolated. A replacement should restore the documented circuit arrangement; it should not be used to change operating voltage, defeat a protective function or compensate for a mechanical load that the equipment cannot safely move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the source 1-1/2 HP title verified?
The manufacturer catalog lists 2 HP. Resolve the discrepancy against the current motor nameplate before purchase.
Does TEFC rate the whole operator enclosure?
No. It describes the motor construction; the complete installation has separate requirements.
Can this increase operator capacity?
No capacity conversion is established. Use only the approved complete operator configuration.
Are speed and shaft dimensions stated?
No unverified values are claimed. Confirm the current complete motor specification and application.
