Dayton 1/2 hp Capacitor-Start/Run Motor
The Dayton 103806.00 is a single-phase general purpose motor rated at 1/2 horsepower. It operates on 115/208-230V AC at 60 Hz with a nameplate speed of 450 RPM. The motor features a 48 frame, rigid base mounting, and an open drip-proof enclosure with Class B insulation.
Suits continuous-duty industrial
This motor suits applications requiring continuous duty at a 1.25 service factor within a 40°C maximum ambient temperature. It is usable at 208V and provides reversible CW/CCW rotation. Buyers needing thermal protection, a different speed, or a voltage outside the 115/208-230V range should look at other models.
450 RPM nameplate speed determines
The fixed 450 RPM output speed is the critical specification for matching this motor to pulleys, gearboxes, or direct-drive loads. Verify that the driven equipment is designed for this exact speed before purchase.

Questions about this item
What is included with the Dayton 103806.00 motor and what must be purchased separately?
The motor ships as a complete 48-frame unit with an open drip-proof enclosure and rigid base. A compatible capacitor, mounting hardware, and wiring are not included and must be sourced separately.
Which voltage configuration suits my 115 V or 208-230 V supply?
The nameplate lists 115/208-230 V AC with full-load amps of 4.4 A at 115 V and 2.4-2.2 A at 208-230 V; wire the motor for the voltage present at your installation.
What does the 450 RPM rating mean when the motor is under load?
At continuous duty and 1.25 service factor the shaft turns at 450 RPM on 60 Hz power; actual speed will drop slightly as the load approaches the 1/2 hp rating.
