Baldor Electric Company VEL11304 Industrial AC Motor

Baldor-Reliance VEL11304 is a general‑purpose, single‑phase AC motor rated at 0.5 HP with a nominal speed of 1,725 RPM at 60 Hz. It supports dual voltage operation (115/230 V) and uses a 56C frame with an open enclosure, identified in Baldor’s catalogs by the 3424LC designation. Mounting options include C‑face and traditional foot‑mount configurations, allowing straightforward integration into pumps, fans, conveyors, grinders, and other light‑duty machinery that run on standard 1‑phase power. This motor is designed for reliable, continuous operation in enclosing environments where open‑frame Baldor motors are typically deployed, and it is part of Baldor’s long‑standing Reliance line now under ABB’s motor portfolio. Applications span industrial equipment, small‑to‑mid‑size machinery, and retrofit projects where a compact, conventional 1‑phase solution is required.
