Product Identity

The Dayton 13E661 is a variable frequency drive rated for 1 hp output and 3.6 A maximum current. It accepts single-phase 115 or 230V AC input at 50 or 60 Hz and delivers three-phase 230V AC output with a frequency range up to 120 Hz. This unit suits installers who need to run a three-phase motor from a single-phase supply.

Build and Connections

The NEMA 1 enclosure provides indoor protection against contact with live parts and falling dirt. Terminals inside the housing accommodate the single-phase supply and three-phase motor leads, allowing straightforward wiring in a panel or wall-mount arrangement. The compact black and gray case fits standard industrial environments without special mounting hardware.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Verify that your incoming service is single-phase 115 or 230V AC at 50 or 60 Hz before ordering. Confirm the motor nameplate shows three-phase 230V AC compatibility and a full-load current not exceeding 3.6 A. Ensure the installation location meets NEMA 1 indoor requirements and that local codes permit this drive for the intended application.

Questions about this item

What single-phase input voltages and frequencies does the 13E661 drive accept?

The drive accepts 115 V or 230 V AC single-phase input at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

What enclosure rating does the 13E661 carry, and what does that imply for mounting?

It has a NEMA 1 enclosure, meaning it is rated for indoor use and must be mounted in a clean, dry location.

How is the 13E661 wired for three-phase motor output, and what mistake do installers often make?

Connect the motor to the U, V, W output terminals for three-phase 230 V operation; a common error is leaving the output phase setting at single-phase instead of three-phase.
