Motor purpose and fit
The Baldor Electric CL3503 is a single-phase AC motor rated at 1/2 horsepower and 3450 RPM. It suits equipment that needs a 56C face-mounted motor with a keyed shaft running on 115 or 230 volt supplies.
Sustained operation
The motor carries a 1.25 service factor and a continuous duty cycle inside a totally enclosed fan-cooled housing. Class B insulation supports a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius and the nameplate shows 7.0 amps at 115 volts or 3.5 amps at 230 volts.
Installation checks
Confirm the driven equipment accepts a 56C frame with face mounting and clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation. Verify the supply voltage is 115 or 230 volts at 60 Hz; the motor is usable at 208 volts but not at 200 volts. Ensure the mounting surface accommodates the closed-base design.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 1/2 HP motor generate when running continuously at 3450 RPM?
The motor is rated for continuous duty with a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees C and a service factor of 1.25, so it handles sustained operation within that thermal limit.
What voltage supply and wiring does the 115/230V capacitor-start motor require to operate?
It runs on single-phase 115 V or 230 V AC at 60 Hz, draws 7.0 A at 115 V or 3.5 A at 230 V, and is usable at 208 V but not at 200 V.
Will the 56C face-mounted shaft couple directly to my existing NEMA 56 frame pump?
Yes, the 56C frame with a keyed shaft and face mounting matches the standard NEMA 56 pattern for direct coupling.
