HVAC motor for 120V systems
The Dayton 1/2 hp motor runs at 825 RPM on 120V AC single-phase power, drawing 5.3 A at full load. It uses a permanent split capacitor design rated for continuous duty in horizontal mounting positions. The steel frame and Class B insulation suit standard HVAC replacement needs.
Capacity and voltage limits
At 120V the motor delivers its rated half-horsepower output with a 40 °C maximum ambient temperature. The supplier notes it is not usable at 200V or 208V, so it cannot serve dual-voltage installations. Builders needing higher voltage operation or greater horsepower must select a different unit.
Thermal and electrical behaviour
Class B insulation handles the 40 °C ambient limit during continuous operation at 60 Hz. The permanent split capacitor design avoids a separate starting capacitor, simplifying wiring and reducing component count. Current draw remains at the stated 5.3 A under full-load conditions.

Questions about this item
Will this 825 RPM motor line up with the mounting holes on my existing HVAC blower housing?
The motor uses a non-standard frame and is designed for horizontal mounting; compare the frame dimensions and bolt pattern with your current housing before installation.
How can I verify the motor is running correctly once wired?
At 120 V AC and 60 Hz the nameplate shows 825 RPM and 5.3 A full-load current; measure voltage, current and shaft speed under load to confirm they match these values.
