The Baldor-Reliance KM3457 is a 1/3 hp, 2-pole, three-phase induction motor built for general-purpose use in industrial equipment. Configured in Baldor’s 56C frame, it uses a Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated (TENV) enclosure rated for 60 Hz with a speed of 3450 RPM under load and supports 230/460 VAC operation with direct-on-line starting. Designed for front-face mounting (F1) with a C-face pulley end and ball bearings, it features a 0.625 in shaft diameter and nine 18 AWG leads exiting through a KO box for electrical connections. The insulation class is B and the service factor is 1.35, providing modest overload tolerance, and shaft rotation is reversible for applications needing direction changes. RoHS-compliant and intended for general-purpose duty, this motor suits fans and blowers, pumps, compressors, conveyors, and other standard equipment in industrial settings.
