Baldor IDCSWMD3542 Washdown Inverter Motor Three Phase

Baldor-Reliance IDCSWDM3542 is a 0.75 HP washdown-duty inverter-duty three-phase motor designed for sanitary environments and PWM-based speed control. It delivers a base speed of 1740 rpm at 60 Hz on a 208-230/460 VAC, 3-phase supply, and comes in a 56C frame with a Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated (TENV) enclosure and a paint-free construction that withstands frequent washdowns. The inverter-duty designation means it’s built for PWM starting and variable-speed operation when used with a suitable VFD, making it well suited for pumps, conveyors, and other equipment in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing. It uses a 9-lead winding (9 at 18 AWG) to support common 60 Hz service and reflects Baldor’s durable build for washdown environments, combining corrosion-resistant internals with reliable performance under frequent cleaning cycles.
