Baldor Electric VL3514T 1-1/2 HP 1725 RPM 115/230V 145TC Motor

SKU CH-Y1KV-FEZ3K

Single-phase capacitor-start motor delivers 1-1/2 hp at 1725 rpm with dual 115/230 V operation and 145TC face mounting

  • Product typeElectrical
  • 5 HP output for demanding tasks
  • 1725 RPM speed for consistent performance
  • Dual 115/230V voltage for flexible wiring
  • 145TC frame fits standard mounts
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled design for durability

General-purpose capacitor-start/run motor

The Baldor Electric VL3514T is a single-phase motor rated at 1-1/2 HP with a nameplate speed of 1725 RPM. It suits equipment that demands continuous duty at 60 Hz in ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees C.

Totally enclosed fan-cooled 145TC frame

A totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure protects windings from dust and moisture while the face-mounted 145TC frame simplifies direct coupling. Dual-voltage 115/230V AC wiring and CW/CCW rotation give installers flexibility without rewinding.

Replaces failed capacitor-start units

This unit upgrades older motors that lack a 1.15 service factor or dual-voltage capability. The jump is worth it when the application needs continuous operation at 12.4 or 6.2 full-load amps and 208V compatibility.

Questions about this item

What voltage does the 115/230V motor actually run on, and what current will it draw at full load?

The motor is rated for 115 V or 230 V AC at 60 Hz. Full-load current is 12.4 A at 115 V and 6.2 A at 230 V. It is usable at 208 V but not at 200 V.

Which frame and mounting style does the 145TC motor use, and what shaft features should I expect?

It uses a NEMA 145TC face-mount frame with a keyed shaft. The shaft rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on wiring.

How do I wire this capacitor-start/run motor for the correct voltage and rotation, and what mistake should I avoid?

Follow the nameplate diagram: reconfigure the dual-voltage leads for 115 V or 230 V, then swap the two capacitor leads to reverse rotation. The common error is changing voltage links without also moving the capacitor connections.
