Baldor Electric Company CWDM3538 Washdown Duty Motor

The Baldor-Reliance CWDM3538 Washdown Duty Motor is a 1/2 HP, 56C frame, three‑phase motor designed for wet, sanitary environments such as sewage and wastewater pumps or food‑processing lines. Operates at 60 Hz on 208/230/460 VAC in a four‑pole configuration, delivering a nominal speed near 1,740–1,775 rpm and using a NEMA‑compliant, direct‑on‑line start. Enclosure is typically Totally Enclosed Non‑Ventilated (TENV), suitable for washdown service, and the unit uses a 56C frame with a 0.625 in shaft (5/8 in) and C‑Face/Foot rigid mounting (F1), with a pulley‑end shaft extension. Electrical leads consist of nine 18 AWG conductors terminated in a KO box or provided as flying leads, and full‑load current is about 1 A at high voltage. Overall length about 11.06 in, with a service factor of 1.25 and sealed bearings, making it a common choice for washdown‑duty applications requiring reliable, surface‑mounted drive for pumps and conveyors.
