Baldor Motor L1408T Motor
The Baldor-Reliance L1408T is a heavy-duty 3HP single-phase motor designed for industrial applications requiring high starting torque. Operating at a base speed of 1800 RPM, this four-pole motor is built on a 184T frame with an open drip-proof (ODP) enclosure, making it ideal for clean, indoor environments where maximum airflow is necessary for thermal management. This unit is dual voltage (115/230V), allowing for flexible field wiring depending on the available power supply. Engineered with robust ball bearings and a steel frame, the L1408T provides reliable service for air compressors, pumps, and fans. As a General Purpose Industrial Motor, it utilizes a capacitor-start, induction-run design to handle heavy mechanical loads during startup without tripping breakers, ensuring consistent NEMA performance for demanding HVACR and industrial service tasks.
- Voltage Versatility: Dual-rated for 115V and 230V 60Hz single-phase systems for broad site compatibility.
- High Starting Torque: Robust capacitor-start design ensures reliable rotation under heavy initial mechanical loads.
- NEMA 184T Frame: Standardized mounting footprint for easy direct-drive or belt-drive integration.
- Efficient Cooling: ODP enclosure facilitates superior heat dissipation during continuous duty cycles.
Common Questions:
What is the shaft diameter of the Baldor L1408T?
The 184T frame configuration features a 1-1/8 inch shaft diameter, conforming to standard NEMA specifications for industrial interchangeability.
Can this motor be used for outdoor applications?
Because this is an ODP (Open Drip-Proof) motor, it is designed for indoor use or protected environments where moisture and debris are not directly entering the internal windings.
Is this motor suitable for air compressor duty?
Yes, the high starting torque characteristic of this 184T frame motor makes it a preferred choice for reciprocating and rotary screw compressors.
