Dayton 103842.00 Capacitor-Start/Run Motor 1/2 HP 115/208-230V 56 Frame

SKU CH-TDSS-GT0RY

A 1/2 HP capacitor-start/run motor with 56 frame, 450 RPM, and dual-voltage 115/208-230V operation for continuous duty

  • Product typeElectrical
  • 1/2 HP capacitor-start/run motor delivers 450 RPM continuous power
  • Dual-voltage 115/208-230V AC fits multiple supply configurations
  • 56 frame rigid-base mount suits standard industrial footprints
  • Auto thermal protection and 1.25 service factor support heavy-duty cycles
  • Open drip-proof enclosure rated for 40 °C ambient operation

Capacitor-Start/Run 1/2 HP Motor

This Dayton 103842.00 is a single-phase general-purpose motor rated at 1/2 horsepower. It suits equipment that needs continuous-duty operation with a service factor of 1.25. The capacitor-start/run design delivers reliable starting torque for conveyors, fans or pumps in workshops and light-industrial settings.

Dual-Voltage 115/208-230V 56 Frame Fit

The motor runs on 115 V or 208-230 V at 60 Hz, drawing 4.4 A at the lower voltage and 2.4 to 2.2 A at the higher voltages. Its NEMA 56 frame and rigid base mount let it bolt directly to standard mounting plates. The shaft rotates in either direction, so wiring can be set for clockwise or counter-clockwise operation as the application requires.

Open Drip Proof 40 °C Continuous Duty

An open drip-proof enclosure meets the 40 degrees C maximum ambient rating while allowing airflow through the windings. Automatic thermal protection interrupts power if internal temperatures rise too high. Class B insulation supports the continuous duty cycle without forced cooling, keeping noise to the level of the driven load rather than the motor itself.
