General-Purpose Three-Phase Motor
The Baldor Electric EM3212T is a general-purpose AC motor rated at 5 horsepower with a nameplate speed of 3450 RPM. It operates on three-phase power at 208-230/460 volts AC and fits the 182T frame size. The open dripproof enclosure and rigid base mounting suit indoor industrial installations.
Suited For Fixed-Speed Continuous Duty
This motor suits equipment requiring continuous operation at a single speed with a 1.15 service factor. It is not for buyers who need variable-speed control or integrated thermal protection. Builders needing a different voltage such as 200 volts or a totally enclosed enclosure should look at other models.
Build Integration And Mounting
The rigid base allows all-angle mounting on a secure foundation. The design requires a three-phase supply at 60 Hz and an ambient temperature not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. The open enclosure saves internal space but demands a clean, dry environment free from dripping liquids.

Questions about this item
What three-phase supply voltages does the EM3212T motor accept?
The motor runs on 208-230/460 V AC at 60 Hz and is usable at 208 V but not at 200 V.
Can the 182T frame motor be mounted in any orientation on my existing base?
Yes, the rigid-base design allows all-angle mounting so you can keep your current base layout.
How do I confirm the motor is delivering its rated output after installation?
Measure full-load current near 12.0 A at 230 V or 6.0 A at 460 V and verify shaft speed reaches 3450 RPM under load.
