Dayton 3-Phase 1/2 HP 56 Frame Motor
The Dayton 31TT11 is a three-phase general purpose motor rated at 1/2 horsepower in a 56 frame size. It operates on 230/460V AC at 60/50 Hz with a nameplate speed of 1,140 RPM. The open drip-proof enclosure uses steel frame construction with ball bearings and Class B insulation. It is suited for continuous duty in industrial or commercial equipment.
Suitable for three-phase 230/460V systems only
This motor suits installations that supply three-phase power at 230 or 460 volts and require a 56 frame footprint with rigid base mounting. Buyers needing single-phase input, a different frame size, or built-in thermal protection should look elsewhere. The lack of motor thermal protection means external overload devices are required for safe operation.
Fits 56 frame rigid-base mounts with CW/CCW rotation
The rigid base and reversible shaft rotation allow direct replacement in existing 56 frame mounting patterns. Copper windings and a 1.25 service factor provide margin for continuous loads up to 40 °C ambient. Nominal efficiency of 75.3 percent and full-load currents of 2.8/1.4 A help size starters and conductors. The open enclosure requires a clean, dry environment.

Questions about this item
Do I need a three-phase 230/460V AC supply rated for at least 2.8 amps to run the 1/2 HP motor?
Yes, the motor requires a three-phase 230/460V AC source (60/50 Hz) and draws 2.8 A at 230 V or 1.4 A at 460 V.
Can I keep my existing rigid-base frame 56 mounting and CW/CCW shaft setup with this motor?
The motor uses a rigid-base frame 56 mount and supports CW/CCW rotation, so it fits the same footprint and shaft orientation.
How do I verify the motor is running at its rated 1140 RPM and 75.3 % efficiency after installation?
Measure shaft speed with a tachometer under load — it should read about 1140 RPM — and confirm current draw is near 2.8 A at 230 V or 1.4 A at 460 V.
