Dayton 30PT80 General Purpose Motor
The Dayton 30PT80 is a single-phase general purpose motor rated at 1-1/2 hp and 3450 RPM. It suits equipment that needs continuous-duty rotation in a 56 frame footprint. The capacitor-start/run design provides reliable starting torque for fans, pumps and similar driven loads. Buyers who need a three-phase or inverter-rated motor should look elsewhere.
Open Drip Proof Enclosure and Cradle Base
The open drip proof enclosure allows airflow through the windings while resisting vertical dripping, making it suited to clean, dry indoor environments. A cradle base with horizontal mounting keeps the shaft level and simplifies alignment on flat surfaces. The shaft rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise to match the driven equipment. Builders who need a totally enclosed or vertical-mount motor cannot use this unit.
Single-Phase 115/230V AC Operation
The motor runs on 115/230V AC at 60 Hz, drawing 13.3 amps at 115V or 6.7 amps at 230V under full load. A 1.15 service factor gives a modest margin above nameplate horsepower. Automatic thermal protection resets itself after an over-temperature event. The insulation class B rating limits the maximum ambient temperature to 40 degrees C. Installations that require variable-speed control or a different voltage cannot use this motor.

Questions about this item
What voltage does the 1-1/2 hp motor run on?
It operates on 115/230 V AC single-phase power at 60 Hz, drawing 13.3 amps at 115 V or 6.7 amps at 230 V under full load.
What frame and mounting style does the 56-frame motor use?
The motor fits a standard NEMA 56 frame and mounts on a cradle base in a horizontal position.
How do you set the rotation direction on the capacitor-start/run motor?
The motor is rated for both CW and CCW rotation; reverse the start-winding leads inside the terminal box to change direction.
