  • Product typeElectrical
  • 5 hp output powers heavy farm equipment

Dayton 6K847 Farm Duty Motor

This single-phase AC motor delivers 5 hp at 1740 rpm on a 230 V supply. Its capacitor-start design and TEFC enclosure suit continuous farm and industrial tasks such as crop drying, exhaust fans and conveyors.

Suits single-phase installations

Buyers with only single-phase power will find the 230 V capacitor-start motor a direct fit for fan and conveyor drives. Operations that require three-phase supply or different horsepower ratings should look at other motor types.

5 hp headroom for steady loads

The 5 hp rating provides reliable torque for typical drying fans, storage aeration and material handling conveyors. Applications demanding higher continuous output or variable-speed control will exceed the motor’s capacity.

Questions about this item

Does the 230 V single-phase supply need a dedicated circuit and starter for this 5 hp motor?

The motor runs on 230 V single-phase power; a correctly rated circuit breaker, magnetic starter and thermal overload matched to 5 hp are required for safe operation.

Can I keep my existing 1740 rpm pulley and belt drive when fitting this motor?

Yes, the 1740 rpm shaft speed matches common farm-duty drive ratios, so your current pulley and belt setup can be reused if the shaft diameter and keyway are compatible.

How do I confirm the motor is delivering full 5 hp after installation?

Measure running current at 230 V under load — it should sit near the nameplate full-load amps — and verify the shaft turns at 1740 rpm with a tachometer while the driven equipment operates normally.
