  • 5% nominal efficiency reduces energy consumption
  • 15 service factor handles intermittent overloads

General-purpose three-phase motor

The Dayton 36VE94 is a 1.5 HP three-phase motor built for continuous-duty industrial applications. It operates on 230/460V AC at 60 Hz and fits a standard 182/4 frame with a rigid steel base. The open drip-proof enclosure suits clean, dry environments where reliable rotational power is needed.

Sustained-load behaviour

Rated for continuous duty with a 1.15 service factor, the motor delivers 1170 RPM at full load while maintaining 86.5 percent nominal efficiency. Full-load current draws 4.6 amps at 230V or 2.3 amps at 460V, and the shaft rotates in either direction without rewiring. Class F insulation supports the 40 °C maximum ambient temperature during extended operation.

Thermals, noise and power

Ball bearings reduce friction losses during normal running, and the open drip-proof design allows direct airflow through the windings for steady cooling. No internal thermal protection is fitted, so external overload devices must be provided by the installer. The included conduit box simplifies wiring connections for 230V or 460V supply.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 1.5 HP motor generate when running continuously at 40 °C ambient?

The motor carries Class F insulation and a 1.15 service factor, allowing it to operate continuously at the rated 40 °C maximum ambient without exceeding its thermal limits.

What power supply and mounting hardware are required before the 182/4 frame motor can be installed?

A three-phase 230/460 V AC, 60 Hz supply and a rigid base with bolt pattern matching the NEMA 182/4 frame are needed; the included conduit box handles wiring connections.

Will the 1170 RPM output and 86.5 % efficiency work with an older VFD or across-the-line starter?

The motor is rated for continuous duty at 1170 RPM with 86.5 % nominal efficiency and is compatible with both across-the-line starting and variable-frequency drives that support 230/460 V three-phase operation.
