Baldor Reliance EM3218T-G Three Phase AC Motor

Baldor Reliance EM3218T-G is a 5-horsepower, three-phase AC motor designed for general-purpose duty in commercial and light industrial equipment. This dual-voltage unit runs at 60 Hz on 230/460 V and delivers a nominal 1,750 rpm with a 4-pole configuration, fitting standard belts and couplings with an 184T frame. It is foot-mounted (F1) and equipped with an OPSB enclosure for reliable protection in open HVAC, pump, and fan applications. The EM3218T-G is a shaft-grounding motor, which helps mitigate bearing currents in installations with variable frequency drives or long cable runs, improving bearing life and reliability. It is built for continuous duty service and is commonly specified for open-air or equipment housings in commercial HVAC systems, industrial process fans, and circulating pumps where a compact, robust 5 HP drive is needed. With Baldor’s connection options, it can be wired for either 230 V or 460 V operation and is designed to accommodate standard mechanical interfaces for 184T frame motors, enabling straightforward retrofits into existing equipment.
