Product identity
The Dayton 3M994 is a new condenser fan motor rated at 1/2 horsepower and designed for high-temperature environments. It suits HVAC technicians and facility managers who need a direct replacement for condenser units requiring a 48YZ frame and continuous duty operation.
Decisive specification
The motor runs on 208-230V AC single-phase power at 60 Hz with a permanent split capacitor design. Its 1,075 RPM nameplate speed and 3.1 A full-load current determine whether it matches the original equipment nameplate data.
Capacity and headroom
Continuous duty cycle and Class B insulation support operation up to a maximum ambient temperature of 60 °C. Auto thermal protection guards against overload, while the reversible CW/CCW rotation and cradle base mounting suit horizontal or vertical shaft-up installations.

Questions about this item
What does the 1/2 hp rating mean for a condenser fan in a real HVAC unit?
The motor delivers half a horsepower at its nameplate speed of 1,075 RPM, providing enough torque to drive a standard condenser fan blade continuously in residential or light-commercial air-conditioning systems.
How does the 208-230 V single-phase supply affect the motor's 3.1 A full-load current in practice?
At 230 V the motor draws 3.1 A under full load; on a 208 V leg the current will be slightly higher, so the circuit and contactor must be sized for that maximum draw.
What does the 48YZ frame and 6 in shaft length require for mounting?
The cradle-base motor fits a 48YZ mounting pattern and needs a horizontal or vertical shaft-up orientation with a 6-inch shaft extension for the fan hub or pulley.
