- TypeElectrical
- 1 hp output powers demanding equipment
- 3450 RPM nameplate speed delivers high-torque performance
- Dual 115/230 V voltage fits standard shop wiring
- 56C frame matches common pump and gearbox mounts
- TEFC enclosure protects windings in dusty or wet areas
Purpose and fit
The Baldor CL3509 is a single-phase, capacitor-start/run motor rated at 1 HP and 3450 RPM. It suits continuous-duty applications such as pumps, fans or conveyors where a 56C frame and dual-voltage wiring are required.
Voltage and temperature limits
The motor runs on 115 V or 208–230 V at 60 Hz and draws 5.9 A at full load; it is not usable at 200 V. Maximum ambient temperature is 40 °C and the insulation is Class B with a 1.25 service factor.
Upgrade considerations
It replaces an open-drip-proof unit when a totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure is needed for dusty or wet environments. The jump is worth it when the application demands reversible CW/CCW rotation and NEMA 56C mounting without changing the driven equipment.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 115 V or 230 V wiring for my supply?
The motor is rated for 115/208-230 V AC and draws 5.9 A at full load; wire it for the voltage your circuit provides.
What does the 3450 RPM nameplate speed mean once the motor is loaded?
At full load the motor runs at 3450 RPM with a 1.25 service factor for continuous duty at 40 °C ambient.
Does the 56C frame limit the mounting options I can use?
The 56C face-mount flange bolts directly to NEMA 56C gearboxes, pumps or driven equipment.
