General-Purpose Motor for Industrial Tasks
This Baldor Electric L3514 motor delivers 1 1/2 horsepower for continuous-duty machinery. It suits workshops and light-industrial equipment that need reliable single-phase power. Builders integrating conveyors, pumps or fans will find the 56H frame a direct fit for many standard mounts.
115/230 V Operation with 208 V Flexibility
The motor runs on common 115 V or 230 V supplies and is usable at 208 V, while 200 V is not supported. A 6.1 A full-load draw at 230 V means existing branch circuits often suffice. The capacitor-start/run design provides strong starting torque without a separate control box, simplifying wiring.
Sustained Output at 40 °C Ambient
Class F insulation and a 1.15 service factor let the motor run continuously at its 1 800 RPM nameplate speed in ambients up to 40 °C. The totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure keeps windings clean in dusty shops. No internal thermal protection is fitted, so external overload devices must be provided by the installer.

Questions about this item
How long can the 1 1/2 HP motor run continuously at 40 °C ambient?
The duty cycle is rated continuous, so the motor can operate without time limit at the maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C.
What is the full-load current and service factor when running all day on 230 V?
Full-load current is 6.1 A with a 1.15 service factor, giving a 7 A maximum continuous draw at 230 V.
Which single-phase voltage must the site supply for the 56H frame motor to start and run?
The motor is nameplated for 115/230 V AC at 60 Hz and is also usable at 208 V; it is not usable at 200 V.
