FAQs
The CM3542 is a three‑phase motor designed for 208–230/460 V operation at 60 Hz. It uses a TEFC enclosure and a 56C frame, enabling straightforward retrofits into standard industrial drives and equipment while maintaining compatible mounting and shaft dimensions such as a 0.63 in shaft diameter.
Yes. The CM3542 is rated for continuous duty with a service factor of 1.25, making it appropriate for conveyors, pumps, and fans where steady, reliable torque is required. Its TEFC enclosure also helps protect against dust and moisture in harsh environments.
The CM3542 carries CSA and UR certifications, and features a NEMA TEFC enclosure with a 56C frame. These attributes support regulatory compliance, safe operation, and easier procurement for North American OEMs and service providers.
The motor is built with regreasable bearings (6203 | Ball) and a durable TEFC enclosure, reducing maintenance frequency. Regular greasing per service intervals and monitoring current draw (3.2 A / 3 A / 1.5 A depending on voltage) support optimal life and performance.
With a 0.75 HP rating, energy‑efficient performance (about 75.5% rated efficiency), and robust construction, the CM3542 lowers energy costs and maintenance spend. Its compatibility with standard voltages, mounting, and regulatory certifications also reduces downtime and procurement complexity.
