- Manual thermal protection resets easily after an overload event
- Continuous-duty rating at 40 °C ambient handles non-stop operation
Single-Phase Capacitor-Start Motor
The Dayton 6K358BG is a general-purpose motor rated at 3/4 hp with a nameplate speed of 450 RPM. It operates on 115/208-230V AC at 60 Hz and draws 10.4 / 5.3 - 5.2 A at full load. The 56 frame size and rigid base suit fixed industrial installations.
Voltage and Protection Compatibility
Confirm your supply matches 115V or 208-230V single-phase power before ordering. The motor includes manual thermal protection and a 1.0 service factor, so overloads require external monitoring. Ambient temperature must not exceed 40 degrees C for continuous duty.
Rigid Base Mounting and Rotation Flexibility
The closed-base, totally enclosed fan-cooled design fits all-angle mounting on a 56 frame footprint. Shaft rotation is reversible between CW and CCW to match driven equipment. Insulation class B supports standard industrial environments without special cooling provisions.

Questions about this item
Does the Dayton 6K358BG motor include a capacitor and mounting hardware, or must they be purchased separately?
The motor is a capacitor-start design with a rigid base and 56 frame. A start capacitor matched to the 3/4 hp rating and mounting bolts for the base are not included and must be sourced separately.
Should I wire the 115/208-230V motor for 115 V or 230 V in my workshop?
Choose 230 V to halve the running current to 5.2 A and reduce voltage drop on long cable runs; select 115 V only if a 230 V circuit is unavailable, accepting 10.4 A draw and larger wire gauge.
What does the 3450 RPM nameplate speed mean for a belt-driven compressor or pump?
At 60 Hz the motor delivers 3450 RPM under full load. With the 56 frame shaft you can fit a pulley to step the speed down to the compressor or pump requirement while the 1.0 service factor provides no overload margin.
