How to Identify a Reliance Motor ID#
A manufacturer of electric motors for over 100 years, Reliance offers a full line of alternating (AC) and direct-current (DC) motors. Purchased by the Baldor Corporation in 2007, the Reliance division continues to manufacture industrial, automotive and other electric motors in a wide array of specifications. Identification of Reliance electric motors requires locating and referencing numbers from the ID plate. The primary numbers are the model, catalog and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, or NEMA, frame number -- a universal code used by all electric motor manufacturers. Electrical specifications are important, as motors with the same model number may have different electrical specifications.
