Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VFDEM3546 uses a 1 HP, 230/460 V dual-voltage design with a TEFC enclosure and 56C frame, enabling easy compatibility across equipment and facilities. This combination delivers reliable performance with reduced energy waste (IE3), lowering operating costs in irrigation pumps and belt-driven conveyors. Application: Farm equipment and light industrial drives that require consistent torque and solid enclosure protection. The energy efficiency translates to cooler operation and longer motor life, supporting longer maintenance intervals and lower cooling requirements in barns, greenhouses, and processing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: C-face mounting and horizontal orientation simplify installation, alignment, and retrofits, reducing commissioning time and mount-fit risk. Application: Replacements and upgrades in existing lines where footprint and bolt patterns match, minimizing downtime during plant transitions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Direct On Line starting and 60 Hz operation provide immediate torque at startup with minimal added components, improving startup reliability for pumps and fans. Application: Raw water pumps, climate-control fans, and material handling conveyors in farm and light industrial settings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Stocked at multiple warehouses (US, GB, SG, CN), enabling rapid procurement and short lead times, which lowers inventory risk and expedites project schedules. Application: Global projects requiring quick sourcing, cross-border installs, and consistent supplier support. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Premium efficiency (IE3) reduces energy use by up to the rated 85.5%, cutting utility costs and aligning with sustainability targets. Application: Continuous operation in processing lines and irrigation systems where energy costs are a significant factor.

FAQs
The VFDEM3546 uses a C-face mounting and horizontal orientation with a 56C frame, designed for straightforward mounting on standard bases. It supports dual voltage (230/460 V) and Direct On Line starting, enabling quick integration into existing drives or new installations. Ensure alignment to the C-face flange and use compliant bolting patterns to avoid vibration or misalignment.
Key specs include 1 HP (output), 3-phase operation at 60 Hz, 1770 r/min nominal speed, and dual voltage 230/460 V. It features IE3 premium efficiency, insulation class F, and a TEFC enclosure. Rated current is 3.2 A (nominal) with a service factor of 1.15, suitable for continuous duty in agricultural environments.
Yes. The Farm Duty designation, 56C frame, C-face mounting, and 3-phase TEFC design make the VFDEM3546 ideal for pumps, conveyors, and other farm or light industrial applications. Its rugged construction and direct-on-line start support reliable starts in variable loads, while the 60 Hz spec ensures compatibility with standard power grids.
The VFDEM3546 carries CSA, CSA EEV, and UR recognitions, ensuring compliance with North American safety and electrical standards. These certifications help meet regulatory requirements for agricultural and industrial installations, simplify vendor qualification, and support safer operation in demanding environments.
IE3 premium efficiency reduces energy consumption and heat generation, contributing to lower operating costs and extended motor life. Maintenance considerations include standard TEFC enclosure care, bearing inspection (6205/6203 ball bearings), and regular lubrication per OEM guidelines. The motor’s availability across multiple warehouses also reduces downtime and total cost of ownership.
