2 HP Three-Phase Motor for Industrial Use
The Dayton 31TU37 is a 2 HP three-phase general purpose motor built for continuous duty in industrial environments. Its totally enclosed fan cooled design protects internal components from dust and moisture. The rigid base and C-face mounting allow secure installation on compatible equipment. It suits maintenance teams and OEMs replacing or specifying a motor for pumps, fans, or conveyors.
Frame 143-5TC/56HCZ and 230/460V Compatibility
The motor uses a 143-5TC/56HCZ frame with rigid base and C-face mounting, so the driven equipment must match this bolt pattern and shaft configuration. It runs on 230/460V AC three-phase power at 60 Hz with full-load currents of 5.7 A at 230V and 2.9 A at 460V. Verify your supply voltage and starter sizing before ordering.
No Thermal Protection and Class F Insulation
The motor has no built-in thermal protection, so external overload protection must be provided by the starter or control panel. Class F insulation and a 1.25 service factor give margin for occasional overloads within the 40 °C maximum ambient temperature. Ball bearings and steel frame construction support long service life under continuous operation.

Questions about this item
What does 2 HP mean once the motor is installed?
The motor delivers two horsepower of continuous mechanical output at 1750 RPM under full load.
How does the 230/460 V three-phase supply limit performance?
At 230 V the motor draws 5.7 A; at 460 V it draws 2.9 A, and the 60 Hz frequency fixes the synchronous speed.
What does the 143-5TC/56HCZ frame require for mounting?
It fits a rigid base with C-face bolt pattern and matches NEMA 143-5TC and 56HCZ shaft dimensions.
