1/2 hp Capacitor-Start/Run Motor

The Dayton 103808.00 is a single-phase general-purpose motor rated at 1/2 hp for 115/208-230V AC supplies. It fits a 48 frame mounting pattern and operates at a nameplate speed of 725 RPM with a 1.25 service factor. The unit weighs 23.8 units and carries a closed-base rigid mounting design.

Continuous-Duty Thermal Behaviour

Rated for continuous duty at a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees C, the motor uses Class B insulation and automatic thermal protection to manage sustained load. Full-load current draws 4.6 A at 115V or 2.4 to 2.3 A at 208-230V, and the 1.25 service factor provides a margin above nameplate horsepower. The open drip-proof enclosure allows airflow while resisting vertical drips during extended operation.

48 Frame Rigid-Base Installation

The rigid base bolts directly to a 48 frame footprint and the shaft rotates in either clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. Wiring must match the dual-voltage nameplate values of 115V or 208-230V at 60 Hz to avoid overload. Installers should verify that the driven equipment does not exceed the 1.25 service factor during start-up or loaded running.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 1/2 hp motor generate when running continuously at 40 °C ambient?

The motor is rated for continuous duty with Class B insulation and a 1.25 service factor at up to 40 °C ambient.

Does the 48-frame rigid-base motor need a separate starter or capacitor kit to operate?

It is a capacitor-start/run design with internal capacitors, so no external starter or capacitor kit is required.

Will the dual-voltage 115/208-230 V motor connect to my existing 208 V three-phase panel?

No, this is a single-phase motor rated 115/208-230 V AC; it cannot be wired to a three-phase supply.
