Industrial three-phase motor
The Baldor Electric EM3554 is a 1-1/2 HP totally enclosed fan-cooled motor built for continuous industrial duty. Its 56 frame and rigid base suit fixed-mount equipment such as conveyors, pumps and fans. Dual-voltage 208-230/460 V input fits common plant supplies.
Replaces open or lower-efficiency units
This motor upgrades from open drip-proof or standard-efficiency models where dust, moisture or energy cost justify the TEFC enclosure and 86.5 % nominal efficiency. The 1.15 service factor absorbs occasional overload without frame change.
Sustained-load behaviour
Continuous duty rating and Class F insulation maintain output at 40 °C ambient without thermal protection trips. Ball bearings and steel frame resist vibration during 1760 rpm operation. Full-load current runs 4.4 A at 230 V or 2.2 A at 460 V.

Questions about this item
What frame size and mounting type does the EM3554 motor use?
The motor uses a NEMA 56 frame with a rigid base for bolt-down mounting.
How do I wire the dual-voltage motor for 230 V or 460 V operation?
Follow the nameplate diagram: connect leads for 208-230 V to draw 4.4 A, or for 460 V to draw 2.2 A.
Which bearing type is fitted and what lubrication schedule applies?
Ball bearings are installed; regrease per Baldor guidelines for Class F insulation at 40 °C ambient.
