Dayton 1-1/2 hp washdown motor in 56HC frame, grey finish

Dayton

Dayton 6WY42 Washdown Motor 1-1/2hp 1750RPM 230/460VAC 56HC Frame

SKU CH-S2V3-W615B

Washdown-duty three-phase motor delivers 1-1/2 hp at 1750 RPM with 230/460 VAC dual-voltage operation in a 56HC frame

  • 1-1/2 hp three-phase power for demanding washdown applications
  • 1750 RPM at 60 Hz for consistent speed under load
  • Dual 230/460 VAC voltage with 208 V usability for flexible wiring
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled design protects internals from water and debris
  • 56HC frame with 1.15 service factor fits standard mounting and handles overloads

Washdown Motor for Food and Pharma Lines

The Dayton 6WY42 is a three-phase washdown motor built for equipment that must survive regular high-pressure cleaning. Its totally enclosed fan-cooled housing and 56HC frame fit standard mounting patterns on conveyors, pumps and packaging machines in food, beverage and pharmaceutical plants.

Continuous Duty at 1.15 Service Factor

Rated for continuous operation at 1,750 RPM with a 1.15 service factor, the motor delivers 1-1/2 hp without relying on short-term overload capacity. Class F insulation and a 40 °C maximum ambient temperature support sustained output, while the absence of thermal protection means external overload devices must be provided by the installer.

Replaces Standard 56-Frame Motors in Wet Zones

The 230/460 V dual-voltage design (also usable at 208 V) lets maintenance teams swap out older 56-frame units without rewiring starters. The upgrade is justified when the application moves from a dry environment to one requiring frequent washdowns, or when a higher service factor is needed for reliable continuous running.

Questions about this item

How much heat and current does the 1-1/2 hp motor draw when running continuously at 230 VAC?

At 230 VAC the motor draws 4.0 A full-load current with a 1.15 service factor and Class F insulation rated for 40 °C ambient, so heat rise is within NEMA Design B limits for continuous duty.

What supply voltage and phase must already be on site for the 230/460 VAC three-phase motor to operate?

A three-phase supply of either 230 VAC or 460 VAC at 60 Hz (also usable at 208 VAC) is required; the motor is not usable at 200 VAC.

Will the 56HC frame and keyed shaft fit the existing C-face pump mount we currently use?

The 56HC frame provides a standard NEMA C-face with keyed shaft, matching common 56C pump mounts for direct coupling.
