Baldor Electric VEM3587T 2 HP 145TC three-phase motor

SKU CH-83SB-EYDTX

A 2 HP three-phase motor in a 145TC frame with cast-iron construction, C-face mounting, and 86.5% nominal efficiency

  • 2 HP output drives demanding industrial equipment
  • 5 % nominal efficiency reduces energy consumption
  • 208-230/460 V three-phase suits common plant power
  • 145TC C-face frame simplifies direct coupling
  • Cast-iron construction withstands 40 °C ambient conditions

Motor identity and target use

The Baldor VEM3587T is a 2 HP three-phase general-purpose motor built on a 145TC frame with a C-face mount. It suits OEM equipment, replacement projects and new machinery that need a totally enclosed fan-cooled design rated for continuous duty at 1750 rpm.

Electrical and mechanical checks before ordering

Confirm your supply matches 208-230/460 V AC at 60 Hz and that the starter can handle 5.8 A at low voltage or 2.9 A at high voltage. Verify the driven load accepts a 1.15 service factor, CW/CCW rotation and a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C.

Upgrade path and when the jump pays off

This unit replaces older 145TC motors that lack Class F insulation, 86.5 % nominal efficiency or CSA EEV certification. The efficiency gain is worthwhile when the motor runs many hours per day and lower operating cost outweighs the initial investment.

Questions about this item

Does the VEM3587T ship with mounting hardware or do I need to source C-face bolts separately?

The motor has a C-face mounting design on a 145TC frame; mounting bolts are not included and must be supplied by the installer.

Should I wire this motor for 208-230 V or 460 V three-phase supply?

The nameplate lists dual voltage 208-230/460 V at 60 Hz with full-load currents of 5.8 A on low voltage and 2.9 A on high voltage; choose the connection that matches your supply.

What does the 86.5 % nominal efficiency mean for continuous duty at 1750 rpm?

At full load the motor converts 86.5 % of electrical input into mechanical output; it is rated for continuous duty with a 1.15 service factor and a 40 °C maximum ambient.
