Dayton 48ZK01 3-Phase Motor 3 HP 182/4TC 230/460V AC

SKU CH-2WTR-D4KZ2

Three-phase 3 HP motor with 182/4TC frame, 230/460 V AC operation, 1765 RPM and 89.5 % nominal efficiency

  • Product typeMotors
  • Three-phase 3 HP power for demanding industrial tasks
  • 5 % nominal efficiency reduces energy consumption
  • Dual 230/460 V AC voltage suits varied supply systems
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled steel frame withstands harsh environments
  • 15 service factor handles continuous-duty overloads

Application fit

The Dayton 48ZK01 is a three-phase general-purpose motor rated at 3 HP in an 182/4TC frame. It suits fixed-speed industrial drives such as pumps, fans, conveyors and gearboxes where a C-face mount simplifies alignment. Buyers who need variable-speed control without an external drive or who require single-phase input will not be served by this unit.

Thermals noise power

Totally enclosed fan-cooled construction and Class F insulation allow continuous duty in ambients up to 40 °C. Nominal efficiency is 89.5 percent with a 1.15 service factor, drawing 7.6 A at 230 V or 3.8 A at 460 V. No internal thermal protection is fitted, so external overload devices must be provided by the installer.

Mounting and compliance

The C-face flange and steel frame mount directly to matched reducers or driven equipment without a separate base. Shaft rotation is reversible between clockwise and counter-clockwise. The motor carries CE, CSA and UL markings and meets 60 Hz, 1701-1800 rpm nameplate standards. Ball bearings are lubricated for long service intervals.

Questions about this item

How is the 182/4TC C-face motor mounted and what alignment step is often missed?

Bolt the C-face flange to the driven equipment using the four mounting holes, then check shaft concentricity with a dial indicator before tightening — skipping this causes vibration and bearing wear.

Which maintenance items will need replacement on the 3 HP TEFC motor over time?

The ball bearings are the primary wear item; relubricate per the motor nameplate schedule and plan bearing replacement when noise or temperature rise exceeds normal.

What thermal limit appears first during continuous 3 HP operation at 40 °C ambient?

The Class F insulation system reaches its temperature rise limit before the 1.15 service factor is fully used, so sustained overload above nameplate amps will trip thermal protection first.
