  • Product typeClosed Base
  • 1/3 HP motor delivers reliable power for general purpose applications
  • 1725 RPM nameplate speed provides consistent performance
  • Dual voltage 115/208-230V operation suits multiple electrical supplies
  • Totally enclosed fan cooled design protects internal components
  • 56 frame rigid base mounting fits standard installations

Motor Application and Suitability

This Dayton 4K936 general purpose motor delivers 1/3 horsepower at 1725 RPM within a standard 56 frame size. It operates on single-phase power at 115V or 208-230V AC, drawing 6.0 or 3.0 amps respectively. The capacitor-start design suits continuous duty cycles in industrial or commercial environments.

Build Integration Requirements

The totally enclosed fan cooled enclosure with rigid base mounting fits all-angle installation without additional ventilation space. A 1.15 service factor provides headroom for intermittent loads while Class B insulation handles ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius. No thermal protection is included so external overload safeguards must be supplied by the installer.

Ideal Use Cases and Limitations

This motor suits equipment requiring reversible CW/CCW rotation at fixed 60 Hz speed such as conveyors, pumps or blowers. Buyers needing variable speed control, integrated thermal overload protection or higher horsepower ratings should consider alternative models. The Proposition 65 notice applies for installations in California.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum ambient temperature the 1/3 HP motor can handle continuously?

The motor is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius during continuous duty operation.

Does the TEFC enclosure on this 1725 RPM motor require external cooling airflow?

The Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled design uses an integral fan on the motor shaft to move air over the frame, so no separate ducting or external blower is needed.

What voltage supply and wiring must be in place for the dual-voltage 115/208-230V motor?

A single-phase 115 V or 208-230 V AC supply at 60 Hz is required, with the motor wired to match the chosen voltage and protected by a circuit rated for at least 6.0 amps at 115 V or 3.0 amps at 230 V.
