Dayton 30G486 Potentiometer 30mm 5000 Ohms
Heavy-duty 30 mm potentiometer rated 5000 Ohms, 2 W and 500 V AC with a 0 to 100 percent dial and NEMA 13 enclosure
- Heavy-duty 30 mm construction for reliable industrial control
- 5000 Ohm resistance range suits precise voltage adjustment
- 2 Watt power rating handles continuous operation
- NEMA 13 enclosure resists oil and coolant exposure
- 0 to 100 percent dial plate enables accurate manual setting
30 mm 5 kΩ heavy-duty potentiometer
The Dayton 30G486 is a 30 mm heavy-duty potentiometer rated at 5 000 ohms and 2 watts. It handles up to 500 V AC with a maximum current of 4 mA and carries a NEMA 13 rating for industrial environments. A 0 to 100 percent dial plate provides clear position reference for manual control tasks.
Upgrade from worn or lower-rated controls
This unit replaces potentiometers that have drifted out of tolerance or lack the NEMA 13 enclosure rating. The jump is worth it when an application demands 500 V AC capability and a rugged 30 mm body that resists dust and water ingress. Existing mounts for 30 mm shafts accept it directly without panel modification.
Suits panel builders and maintenance crews
Technicians who need a durable manual adjustment device for motor starters, contactors or test fixtures will find the specifications match common industrial requirements. Buyers who require a different resistance value, a multi-turn mechanism or a sealed servo-mount format should look at other product lines.

Questions about this item
What panel cut-out size does the 30 mm potentiometer require?
The potentiometer is a 30 mm unit, so the mounting hole must match that diameter; verify the exact cut-out dimension in the manufacturer’s datasheet before drilling.
How do I wire the 5000 Ohm potentiometer correctly?
Connect the outer terminals across the 500 V AC, 4 mA circuit and use the centre wiper for the variable signal; ensure the 2 W power rating is not exceeded.
When should the 5000 Ohm potentiometer be replaced?
Replace the unit if rotation becomes noisy, resistance drifts away from 5000 Ohms, or the NEMA 13, 4 seal shows damage that could let contaminants in.
