Dayton 2N864 3-Phase Motor 1/3 HP 56 Frame 230/460V AC
Three-phase general-purpose motor delivers 1/3 HP at 1765 RPM in a 56 frame with dual 230/460V AC operation
- Three-phase power for efficient industrial operation
- 1/3 HP output drives light-duty equipment reliably
- Dual 230/460 V AC voltage suits multiple supply systems
- Totally enclosed fan-cooled design protects against contaminants
- 72 % nominal efficiency reduces energy consumption
Motor type and target use
The Dayton 2N864 is a three-phase general-purpose motor rated at 1/3 horsepower in a 56 frame. It operates on 230/460V AC at 60/50 Hz and suits industrial equipment that requires continuous duty at 1765 RPM nameplate speed.
Sustained-load behaviour
The totally enclosed fan-cooled design supports continuous operation with a 1.25 service factor and Class F insulation. Nominal efficiency is 72 percent at full load amps of 1.5/0.70 A, while the maximum ambient temperature is 40 degrees C.
Pre-order checks
Verify that your supply provides three-phase power at 230 or 460V and that the driven equipment matches the 56 frame mounting with rigid base. Confirm the shaft rotation direction needed, as the motor runs CW/CCW, and ensure no thermal protection is required by your application.

Questions about this item
How hot does the motor run when operated continuously at 40 degrees C ambient?
The motor is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees C and carries a Class F insulation rating for continuous duty.
What voltage supply and starter gear are required to run this 230/460V three-phase motor?
It requires a three-phase supply at either 230V or 460V AC, 60/50 Hz, plus a compatible three-phase starter and overload protection.
Will the 56 frame and 1.25 service factor let it replace an older 56-frame motor on the same base?
Yes, the NEMA 56 frame and rigid base match standard 56 mounting dimensions, and the 1.25 service factor provides extra margin over older 1.0 designs.
