Baldor Electric Company VEUHM3542 Induction Motor

The Baldor Electric VEUHM3542 Unit Handling Three-Phase Induction Motor is a compact continuous-duty drive that delivers 0.75 horsepower (0.56 kW) at 60 Hz, with a synchronous speed of 1,800 rpm and a running speed near 1,765 rpm under load, housed in a TEFC, 56C frame. Built to operate on 230/460 V three-phase power, this Baldor Reliance motor uses a steel frame and a totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure to withstand industrial environments while keeping external components protected and heat dissipation manageable. Electrical data shows current draw around 2.42 A at 230 V (and 2.42 A at 208 V) and about 1.21 A at 460 V, with an efficiency of roughly 82.5% at full load and a CONT duty rating, suitable for long, continuous operation. The bearing arrangement uses Polyrex EM grease, and the unit features a 56C frame size with a general-purpose, unit-handling design intended for equipment such as conveyors, packaging lines, pumps, fans, or hoists where a compact, rugged motor is desirable. Agency approvals include CE, UR US, CURUS, UKCA, and WEEE, underscoring its compliance footprint for industrial installations. The VEUHM3542 is part of Baldor’s line of general unit-handling motors, with a TEFC enclosure and steel frame offering reliable performance in temperatures up to 40 C and simple maintenance, making it a straightforward replacement or retrofit for compatible 56C-frame, 3-phase, 60 Hz applications.
