General-Purpose Motor for Industrial Equipment
The Dayton 30PT71 is a single-phase capacitor-start/run motor built for continuous-duty industrial equipment. It delivers 3/4 hp at 1,725 RPM and operates on dual-voltage 115/230V AC power. The open drip-proof enclosure and Class B insulation suit clean, dry indoor environments.
Dual-Voltage 115/230V AC Input
This motor runs on either 115V or 230V AC at 60 Hz, drawing 7.0 amps at the lower voltage and 3.5 amps at the higher voltage. The 56H frame and cradle-base mounting fit standard industrial bolt patterns. Auto thermal protection and a 1.25 service factor help sustain continuous operation at up to 40 °C ambient.
Suited for Fixed-Speed Machinery.
Builders of conveyors, pumps, fans or compressors needing a single-speed, horizontally mounted motor with reversible rotation will find the specs match. It is not inverter rated, so buyers who need variable-frequency-drive control should look at a different motor.

Questions about this item
How does the 3/4 hp rating translate to actual shaft speed under load?
The motor runs at 1,725 RPM at full load on 60 Hz power, so the 3/4 hp rating is delivered at that speed.
What does the 115/230V dual-voltage rating mean for the current draw on each supply?
Full-load current is 7.0 A at 115 V and 3.5 A at 230 V, so wiring and breaker sizing must match the chosen voltage.
What does the 56H frame designation tell me about mounting dimensions?
It specifies a 56H frame with cradle-base mounting for horizontal installation, matching standard 56H bolt patterns and shaft height.
