2 hp Capacitor-Start/Run Motor
This Dayton 119176.00 motor delivers 2 hp from a single-phase, capacitor-start/run design. It suits general-purpose machinery that requires continuous duty at 1,725 RPM. The 56H frame and rigid base allow standard industrial mounting in any angle. Auto thermal protection and Class B insulation support reliable operation up to 40 Degrees C ambient.
Upgrade from split-phase or shaded-pole units
The capacitor-start/run topology gives higher starting torque and better running efficiency than split-phase or shaded-pole motors of similar output. The jump is worth it when the load demands consistent starts under load or when efficiency reduces operating cost over long duty cycles. Dual-voltage 115/208-230 V AC wiring lets the same motor serve multiple supply configurations.
Straightforward rigid-base installation
Four mounting bolts secure the closed-base frame to a flat surface; the shaft rotates CW or CCW by reconnecting leads per the nameplate diagram. Common issues include incorrect voltage tap selection — verify 115 V or 208-230 V links before powering — and undersized supply conductors for the 17.6 A (115 V) or 8.8 A (230 V) full-load current. Ensure the starter and overload match the 1.15 service factor.

Questions about this item
What frame size and mounting style does the 56H rigid-base motor need?
It uses a NEMA 56H frame with a rigid base and can be mounted at any angle.
How do I wire the dual-voltage motor for 115 V or 208-230 V, and what is the common mistake?
Follow the nameplate diagram to reconfigure leads for 115 V (17.6 A) or 208-230 V (9.5-8.8 A); the common error is leaving the links in the wrong position for the supply voltage.
When should the start and run capacitors be checked or replaced on this capacitor-start/run design?
Inspect both capacitors if the motor hums, fails to start, or runs hot; replace them when capacitance drops below the marked value or the case shows bulging or leakage.
