Dayton 5K341 Capacitor-Start Motor 1/3 HP 115/208-230V AC 56C Frame

SKU CH-HGYR-59YAT

A capacitor-start general-purpose motor delivers 1/3 HP at 1,725 RPM with dual-voltage 115/208-230V AC operation in a 56C C-face frame

  • Product typeClosed Base
  • 1/3 HP capacitor-start torque for reliable single-phase starting
  • Dual-voltage 115/208-230 V AC fits common shop power
  • 56C C-face rigid base mounts directly to standard gearboxes
  • TEFC enclosure and Class B insulation handle continuous duty at 40 °C
  • 15 service factor provides overload margin for demanding loads

Application and User Fit

The Dayton 5K341 is a 1/3 hp capacitor-start motor built for general-purpose industrial tasks. It suits maintenance teams, OEMs, and facility managers who need a reliable single-phase drive for pumps, fans, or conveyors running on standard 115 V or 208-230 V supplies.

Voltage and Duty Suitability

This motor operates at 60 Hz with a 1.15 service factor and continuous duty rating, making it appropriate for always-on equipment in ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. Buyers who require built-in thermal protection, multi-speed operation, or three-phase power should evaluate other designs.

Capacity and Headroom

At 1,725 rpm the unit delivers 1/3 hp with full-load currents of 7.7 A at 115 V or 3.9 A at 208-230 V, and it remains usable at 208 V. The 56C face mount with a keyed shaft handles direct coupling to compatible gearboxes or driven loads within the rated torque envelope.

Questions about this item

What voltage supply do I need to run this 1/3 HP capacitor-start motor?

The motor operates on 115 V or 208-230 V single-phase AC at 60 Hz.

Will this 56C frame motor align with the mounting holes on my existing C-face gearbox?

Yes, the 56C frame with C-face rigid base matches standard NEMA 56C bolt patterns for direct coupling.

How can I verify the motor is running correctly after wiring it for 230 V?

Measure the running current; it should read approximately 3.9 A at full load with the shaft turning at 1,725 RPM.
