Industrial Motor Identity
The Baldor-Reliance M3541 is a three-phase AC motor rated at three-quarter horsepower. It operates on dual-voltage supplies of 230 or 460 volts and fits the standard 56 frame size. This unit suits maintenance teams and OEMs needing a direct replacement for general-purpose industrial drives.
Upgrade Considerations
The motor carries a NEMA Premium efficiency rating and a continuous duty cycle for extended operation. Full-load current draws 2.6 amps at 230 volts or 1.3 amps at 460 volts. The jump is worthwhile when replacing lower-efficiency units that increase operating costs over long run times. Buyers who need a different frame size, higher horsepower, or single-phase power cannot use this model.
Installation Notes
The 56 frame matches common mounting dimensions for straightforward bolt-in replacement. Wiring must be configured for the chosen supply voltage using the nine-lead connection diagram. Incorrect voltage jumper placement is the most frequent error and will damage the windings. Verify rotation direction before coupling to driven equipment.
Highlights
- Continuous duty cycle supports extended operation
