Dayton 24C180 1/2 HP Capacitor-Start Motor

This Dayton 24C180 is a single-phase capacitor-start motor rated at 1/2 horsepower. It operates on 115/208-230V AC power at 60 Hz. The unit features a 56H frame with cradle-base mounting and an open drip-proof enclosure. It is built for continuous duty in fan and blower applications.

1,725 RPM Nameplate Speed

The motor runs at a fixed 1,725 RPM nameplate speed with a single speed setting. This specific speed determines whether the motor matches the airflow requirements of your existing fan or blower assembly. Verify the required RPM against your equipment specifications before purchase.

Automatic Thermal Protection and Reversible Rotation

Auto-reset thermal protection shuts the motor down if internal temperatures exceed safe limits, then restarts it once cooled. The shaft rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise, allowing installation in either orientation. The steel frame and Class B insulation support operation up to 40 °C ambient temperature.

Questions about this item

What does the 1/2 HP rating mean for actual belt-drive fan performance?

The 1/2 HP motor delivers 725 RPM nameplate speed with a 1.25 service factor, providing continuous-duty torque for belt-driven fans and blowers at 60 Hz operation.

How does the 115/208-230V dual-voltage design work with the 7.7/3.7-3.8 A draw?

At 115 V the motor draws 7.7 A full load; at 208-230 V it draws 3.7-3.8 A. Wire for the voltage you supply and protect the circuit accordingly.

Will the 56H frame with cradle base mount in my existing fan housing?

The 56H frame uses a steel cradle base for all-angle mounting. Verify your housing bolt pattern and shaft clearance match the 56H dimensions before installation.
