  • 5 % nominal efficiency reduces energy cost
  • 15 service factor handles peak loads

Industrial three-phase motor for continuous duty

The Dayton 36VF13 is a general-purpose three-phase AC motor rated at 3 HP with a 143/5TC frame. It operates on 230/460V AC at 60 Hz and carries CSA and UL listings. The open drip-proof enclosure and rigid base suit indoor industrial machinery that runs continuously.

Thermals and electrical draw under load

Class F insulation supports a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. Nominal efficiency reaches 85.5 percent at a nameplate speed of 3,450 RPM. Full-load current measures 7.1 amps at 230V or 3.5 amps at 460V with a 1.15 service factor for occasional overloads.

Mounting and rotation flexibility included

A C-face mounting flange and steel frame allow direct coupling to pumps, fans or gearboxes. The shaft rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise to match driven equipment. Ball bearings handle radial and axial loads without additional accessories. No thermal protection is built in, so external overload devices are required.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the 230/460V AC three-phase motor to the terminal box for the correct voltage?

Connect the nine leads for low-voltage 230 V or high-voltage 460 V as shown on the nameplate diagram; the motor draws 7.1 A at 230 V and 3.5 A at 460 V.

What bearing maintenance does the 143/5TC frame motor require over time?

The ball bearings are factory lubricated; plan to re-grease them per the manufacturer's interval based on the 40 °C maximum ambient temperature and continuous duty cycle.

At what load point does the 1.15 service factor limit appear first during sustained operation?

The 1.15 service factor allows 15 % overload for short periods; continuous operation above 3 HP nameplate rating will exceed the thermal design first.
