Baldor Electric Company M1706T Industrial Motor

The Baldor-Reliance M1706T is a two-speed, 3‑phase industrial motor designed for 460 VAC operation at 60 Hz, delivering 2 HP at 1725 rpm on the high-speed setting and 1 HP at 850 rpm on the low-speed setting. It uses a 184T frame and a TEFC (totally enclosed, fan-cooled) enclosure in a foot-mounted configuration, built for reliable service in demanding industrial environments. With a 4-pole design, the dual-speed outputs are fixed and do not require a drive to switch speeds, making it well-suited for pump, fan, and blower duties where a simple, rugged dual-speed solution is preferred. This continuous-duty, definite-purpose Baldor motor is typically specified for industrial pumping, HVAC air handling, and process blower applications in facilities powered by a 460 V three-phase supply, offering solid torque characteristics at both speeds and straightforward replacement with compatible Baldor components. Frame compatibility with standard Baldor accessories and mountings helps simplify installation and maintenance in OEM and retrofitting scenarios.
