Baldor Electric L3609T 3 hp Capacitor-Start/Run Motor

SKU CH-0V10-YE60X

A 3 hp capacitor-start/run motor delivering 1,800 RPM on 115/230 V AC with a 184T frame for continuous duty

  • 3 hp output drives demanding applications
  • Capacitor-start/run design delivers strong starting torque
  • 115/230 V dual voltage fits common supplies
  • 1,800 RPM nameplate speed suits general-purpose use
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure protects internals

Purpose and fit

The Baldor-Reliance L3609T is a single-phase general-purpose motor rated at 3 hp with a nameplate speed of 1,800 RPM. It suits workshops and light-industrial sites that need continuous-duty torque on standard 115/230 V AC supplies.

Build and connections

The 184T frame uses a totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure rated for 40 °C ambient, with insulation class F and a 1.0 service factor. Dual-voltage wiring covers 115 V and 230 V at 60 Hz, and the motor is also usable at 208 V but not at 200 V. Rotation is reversible CW/CCW, and the capacitor-start/run design delivers single-speed operation without a variable-frequency drive.

Thermals, noise and power

Continuous duty is supported by the fan-cooled housing and class F insulation up to the 40 °C ambient limit. The motor draws 14.0 A at full load on the nameplate voltage, and no dedicated thermal protection is fitted, so external overload devices must be provided by the installer.

Questions about this item

What voltage range does the 115/230V AC motor support, and is 208V usable?

The motor runs on 115V or 230V AC and is usable at 208V, but it is not usable at 200V.

Which NEMA frame size must the mounting surface match for the 184T frame motor?

The motor uses an 184T frame, so the mounting surface must match that NEMA frame size.

How do I wire the motor for 230V operation, and what common mistake should I avoid?

Follow the connection diagram on the nameplate for 230V wiring, and verify the voltage setting before applying power to avoid incorrect hookup.
