  • Product typeClosed Base
  • 2 hp continuous power for demanding applications
  • 1740 RPM single-speed operation at 60 Hz
  • 115/230 V dual-voltage flexibility for wiring convenience
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled design protects against dust and moisture
  • Rigid base mounting fits 182T frame installations

General Purpose 2 HP Motor

The Dayton 5K966 is a single-phase capacitor-start motor rated at 2 hp and 1740 rpm. It operates on 115/230 V AC at 60 Hz with a 182T frame and continuous duty cycle. The totally enclosed fan cooled enclosure and Class F insulation suit industrial environments up to 40 °C ambient temperature.

Fixed-Speed Industrial Applications

This motor suits equipment requiring constant 1740 rpm output such as pumps, compressors, or conveyors where rigid base mounting and reversible rotation are needed. It is not for buyers who need variable speed control, thermal overload protection, or a different frame size for existing mounting patterns.

2 HP Continuous Output Headroom

The motor delivers its full 2 hp rating continuously with a 1.0 service factor, drawing 23.6 A at 115 V or 11.8 A at 230 V. It runs out of capacity when the load exceeds nameplate horsepower or when ambient conditions surpass 40 °C, as there is no thermal protection to prevent overheating.

Questions about this item

What voltage supply must I already have for the 115/230V AC motor?

The motor runs on 115 V or 230 V AC single-phase power at 60 Hz.

Will the 182T frame and keyed shaft fit my existing rigid-base mounting?

It uses a standard 182T frame with a keyed shaft and rigid base, matching common NEMA footprints.

How can I confirm the motor is delivering its rated 2 hp at 1740 RPM after wiring?

Measure full-load current at the terminals; it should read near 23.6 A at 115 V or 11.8 A at 230 V under load.
