Baldor Electric Company L3406 AC Induction Motor

The Baldor Electric Company L3406 is a capacitor-start, induction-run general‑purpose single‑phase motor designed around a 48‑frame, foot‑mounted TEFC enclosure. This 1/3 HP (0.33 HP) unit delivers 1725 RPM at 60 Hz with a four‑pole design, and it accepts 115/230 VAC input for flexible wiring options in common workshop or light‑industrial setups. Ideal for belt‑driven or direct‑drive applications, its compact size and robust construction suit conveyors, pumps, fans, drill presses, grinders, and other small machines that require reliable starting torque and steady operation. As part of Baldor’s Reliance line, the L3406 provides a proven replacement in Baldor‑equipped equipment, offering straightforward interchangeability with similar Baldor single‑phase motors. Variants such as the L3406M share the same core specs—1/3 HP, 1725 RPM, 60 Hz, 48‑frame, TEFC, and 115/230 VAC—supporting consistent performance across compatible models and OEM installations.
