Dayton 6K146 5 hp 3540 RPM 184T Motor

SKU CH-7QJG-CWPPM

A 5 hp single-phase capacitor-start/run motor delivering 3540 RPM at 230 V AC in a totally enclosed fan-cooled 184T frame

  • Product typeClosed Base
  • 5 hp output drives demanding fan and blower loads
  • 3540 RPM nameplate speed matches high-speed airflow requirements
  • 230 V single-phase supply suits standard workshop wiring
  • 184T frame with rigid base simplifies direct replacement
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled design protects windings in dusty environments

Motor Specification

The Dayton 6K146 is a 5 hp single-phase general-purpose motor rated for 3540 RPM on a 230V AC supply. Its 184T frame and keyed shaft suit rigid-base mounting in industrial equipment.

Thermals and Power

Continuous duty is supported up to a 40 degrees C ambient temperature with a 1.15 service factor. The totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure draws 19.6 A at full load and has no internal thermal protection.

Mounting and Rotation

CW/CCW rotation and all-angle mounting give installation flexibility for direct-drive or belt-driven loads. The capacitor-start/run design provides starting torque for heavy inertial loads without additional control gear.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the 230V single-phase supply to the capacitor-start/run terminals on the 184T frame motor?

Connect the two hot legs to the motor's line terminals following the internal diagram; the built-in capacitor-start/run circuit handles phase shift automatically, and the keyed shaft ensures correct coupling alignment.

What maintenance does the totally enclosed fan cooled 5 hp motor require over its service life?

The sealed bearings are lubricated for life and the TEFC enclosure keeps contaminants out; only periodic cleaning of the external cooling fins and checking the rigid base bolts for tightness are needed.

At what ambient temperature does the 1.15 service factor motor reach its thermal limit during continuous duty?

The motor is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 40°C; running continuously above this temperature will exceed the insulation class F limits before any other protection activates.
