Motor type and power
The Dayton 2N982 is a three-phase general-purpose motor rated at 2 HP with a nameplate speed of 1750 RPM. It operates on 230/460V AC at 60 Hz and uses a 182/4 frame with rigid base mounting. The open drip-proof enclosure and steel frame suit indoor industrial installations.
Suitable applications and limits
This motor fits equipment that requires continuous duty at 86.5 percent nominal efficiency and a 1.15 service factor. Buyers who need integrated thermal protection or a different enclosure rating should look at other models. The lack of built-in overload protection means external safeguards must be provided by the installer.
Deciding specification
The dual-voltage design draws 6.2 amps at 230 V or 3.1 amps at 460 V, so the available supply voltage and circuit capacity determine whether this unit can be used. Verify the site voltage and starter sizing before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will this 2 HP motor fit the same 182/4 frame mounting as the unit I am replacing?
Yes — the rigid-base design uses the standard 182/4 frame dimensions so it bolts directly to existing mounting holes.
How can I confirm the motor is running correctly after installation?
Measure full-load current at the nameplate values of 6.2 A on 230 V or 3.1 A on 460 V and verify the shaft turns at 1750 RPM in either direction.
What ships with the motor and what must I supply separately?
The motor arrives with a steel frame, ball bearings and Class F insulation ready for continuous duty; you must provide three-phase 230/460 V power wiring, overload protection and any required coupling or pulley.
