Single-phase capacitor-start motor delivers 1-1/2 hp at 3,450 rpm in a 56C frame with totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure

  • Product typeClosed Base
  • 1-1/2 HP output drives demanding fan and blower loads
  • 3,450 rpm speed suits high-velocity air-moving applications
  • Dual-voltage 115/208-230 V wiring fits common residential and light-industrial circuits
  • TEFC enclosure protects windings from dust and moisture in harsh environments
  • 56C C-face mount with rigid base allows direct coupling to fan housings

Motor purpose and fit

The Dayton 6K832 is a 1-1/2 horsepower general-purpose motor built for continuous duty at 3450 rpm. Its 56C frame and C-face mounting with a rigid base suit direct-drive fan accessories and similar equipment that need a totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure. The capacitor-start/run design provides single-phase operation with reversible CW/CCW rotation.

Electrical supply checks

Verify that your installation can supply 115 volts or 208-230 volts AC at 60 Hz before ordering. The nameplate shows full-load currents of 14.6 amps at the lower voltage and 8.1 to 7.4 amps at the higher voltages, and the motor is rated usable at 208 volts. Confirm that your branch circuit, disconnect and starter are sized for these ampacities and that the wiring method meets local code for the chosen voltage.

Sustained-load behaviour

The motor carries a 1.0 service factor and Class B insulation with a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, so it is designed to run continuously at nameplate load without overload margin. Automatic thermal protection will trip if internal temperatures exceed the design limit during prolonged operation. The electro-galvanised cast-iron closed base helps dissipate heat in steady-state conditions.

Questions about this item

What comes with the Dayton 6K832 motor and what must be purchased separately?

The motor ships as a complete unit with a 56C C-face mounting and rigid base; no fan blade, capacitor, pulley or wiring harness is included.

Which voltage version of the 1-1/2 hp 3450 rpm motor should I choose?

The single model operates on 115 V or 208-230 V; wire it for the supply you have — 14.6 A at 115 V or 8.1-7.4 A at 208-230 V.

What does the 3450 rpm rating mean once the motor is installed in my equipment?

At 60 Hz the motor delivers nameplate 3450 rpm under full 1-1/2 hp load; speed will vary with actual load and line voltage.
