Baldor CSSEWDM3538 Three Phase Induction Motor

The Baldor CSSEWDM3538 is a washdown-duty, stainless-steel, three-phase induction motor built for continuous service in hygienic environments. It delivers 0.5 HP at 60 Hz with a nominal speed of 1765 rpm on a 56C frame and uses a Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated (TENV) enclosure for protection in wet conditions. Exterior components are fabricated from 300-series stainless steel, and the unit is available for 208–230/460 VAC operation with 3-phase power, mounting via C-face or foot options, and a base that is rigid for secure installation. The motor is rated CONT (continuous duty) and achieves about 81.5% efficiency at full load, drawing roughly 2.0 A at 230 V. These characteristics make it well suited to sanitary conveyors, pumps, mixers, and other equipment in food processing, beverage, and pharmaceutical settings where washdown cleaning and corrosion resistance are essential.
