The Baldor M3161TA is a 3 HP three phase AC industrial motor manufactured by Baldor Electric Co. in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The nameplate confirms a dual voltage rating of 230/460 V, with full load amps of 8.4/4.2 A and an additional 8.8 A draw when operated at 208 V. Rated speed is 1725 RPM at 60 Hz, with a synchronous speed of 1800 RPM. The motor uses a 56HZ NEMA frame with rigid base mounting and an open drip proof (ODP) enclosure. Internal wiring supports both low and high voltage configurations through a three phase with thermal connection diagram located on the conduit box cover, allowing field reversible rotation. Construction includes a steel frame, NEMA Design B characteristics, Code L locked rotor, Class B insulation, and a 1.15 service factor. NEMA nominal efficiency is rated at 84% with 80% power factor at full load. The motor carries a 40 C ambient continuous duty rating and is thermally protected. Bearings are 6203 on both the drive end and opposite drive end, lubricated with Polyrex EM grease. Spec number 35J827X510 and serial number F01090044127 are visible on the nameplate. Agency approvals include CSA and UR. Typical applications include general purpose three phase industrial drive duties such as conveyors, fans, blowers, pumps, and machinery requiring a 56 frame three phase motor with rigid base mounting.
