General Purpose Motor 1/4 hp
The Dayton 103841.00 is a single-phase capacitor-start/run motor rated at 1/4 horsepower. It operates at 115/208-230V AC with a nameplate speed of 1,140 RPM and a 56 frame size. The motor features a rigid base mounting and open drip proof enclosure for continuous duty cycles.
Suited for fixed-speed machinery
This motor suits equipment requiring constant 1,140 RPM operation on 60 Hz supply with 1.35 service factor. It is not for applications needing variable speed control, thermal overload protection, or operation above 40 degrees Celsius ambient temperature. Buyers needing reversible plugging or braking functions should look at other designs.
Integrates with 56 frame mounting
The rigid base fits standard 56 frame bolt patterns and the shaft rotates CW/CCW for flexible drive coupling. Open drip proof ventilation requires clean, dry surroundings within the 40 degrees Celsius limit. Dual-voltage wiring (115V or 208-230V) simplifies electrical installation without a separate starter contactor.

Questions about this item
What voltage supply do I need to run the Dayton 103841.00 motor?
The motor operates on 115 V or 208-230 V AC single-phase power at 60 Hz.
Will the 56-frame Dayton 103841.00 motor bolt onto my existing 56-frame mounting plate?
Yes, it uses a standard NEMA 56 frame with a rigid base, so it matches the same bolt pattern as other 56-frame motors.
How can I verify the Dayton 103841.00 motor is running correctly after installation?
Measure the current draw; it should read about 2.4 A at 115 V or 1.2 A at 208-230 V under full load, and the shaft should turn at roughly 1,140 RPM.
