Baldor VEM3554T AC Three Phase Induction Motor

The Baldor VEM3554T is a compact, general‑purpose three‑phase induction motor designed for reliable, continuous duty in industrial equipment. This 1.5 HP unit runs from 208–230/460 V at 60 Hz, delivering a two‑pole speed around 1760–1770 RPM depending on voltage, and it rides on a 145TC frame with a TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan‑Cooled) enclosure for robust protection against dust and moisture. With a 7/8 inch shaft and C‑face/footless mounting options (FR variant), the VEM3554T offers versatile installation in tight spaces and across a range of configurations. The motor is reversible and carries a service factor of 1.15, making it a resilient choice for driving pumps, blowers, conveyors, and other common industrial machinery. Part of the Baldor‑Reliance line (now ABB), this model is widely listed across major distributors under the 145TC‑FR designation, confirming its frame, enclosure, and mounting compatibility.
