BALDOR MOTOR EM3218T Three Phase Motor, 230/460V, 1800 RPM, 60 Hz, 5 hp, ODP, 184T Frame

Baldor EM3218T motor is a general-purpose AC motor used for driving conveyors, mixers & other general applications in automation, food processing and manufacturing industries. This three-phase general purpose AC motor does not require starting / run capacitors & centrifugal starting switches that wear out frequently.

Working Mechanism:

• Install the motor in a suitable location with appropriate mounting accessories.
• Connect the motor to an AC power supply.
• This motor has windings that create a magnetic field and rotate the armature of the motor.
• This rotates the motor's shaft and provides a driving force to the connected equipment.

Features:

• Baldor EM3218T motor is a 5-hp, 60 Hz, 3-phase motor having an open drip-proof / open slotted band (ODP / OPSB) enclosure, allowing free air passing through the motor and heat transfer out of the windings.
• This Super-E motor has a conduit box to house the internal & external electrical connections / cables of the motor.
• It has a rigid base for installation in all angle positions and keyed shaft design for maximum efficiency.
• This 1750 rpm, single-speed motor can operate at 208 - 230 or 460VAC and features Class F insulation windings which prevent internal short circuits at higher temperatures.
• It has a NEMA 184T frame in standard dimensions to allow easy replacement without modifications in existing installations.
• This Baldor EM3218T motor comes inverter-ready with accessories to prevent harmful effects of AC drive output waveform.
• It has a service factor of 1.15.
• This motor has ball bearings with Polyrex EM grease for resisting oil leakage.

Standards and Approvals:

• UR
• CSA EEV (Energy Efficiency Verification)
• CSA

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the maximum temperature that this Baldor EM3218T motor can handle?

A. Baldor EM3218T motor can operate at a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees C.

Q. What does the service factor mean in motors?

A. Motor service factor (SF) refers to the ratio or percentage that a motor can be overloaded for short periods while operating under correct electrical tolerances. Therefore, a 1.15 service factor means that the motor can handle 115% of its rated load for a short period of time.
