Dayton 36VE99 Three-Phase Motor
This Dayton 36VE99 is a three-phase general purpose motor rated at 3 hp. It operates on 230/460V AC at 60 Hz with a nameplate speed of 3445 RPM. The open drip-proof enclosure and steel frame suit industrial environments where ventilation is adequate. Full-load current is 7.8 amps at 230 volts and 3.9 amps at 460 volts.
Suits fixed-speed industrial drives
This motor suits pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors that run continuously on three-phase supply. The 1.15 service factor and Class F insulation handle sustained loads at up to 40 °C ambient. Buyers who need variable-speed control, integrated thermal protection or a totally enclosed enclosure should look at other designs. Single-phase installations cannot use this motor.
Verify supply voltage and mounting
Confirm the site provides three-phase power at either 230 V or 460 V and that the starter or contactor is rated for the corresponding full-load amps. The rigid base matches NEMA 182/4 frame dimensions; check bolt pattern and shaft height against the driven equipment. A shaft key is included for coupling alignment. Ensure rotation direction (CW/CCW) matches the application before wiring.

Questions about this item
What three-phase supply voltage must my facility provide for this 3 hp motor?
The motor is rated for 230/460 V AC at 60 Hz, so your plant must supply either 230 V or 460 V three-phase power at 60 Hz.
Will the 182/4 frame and rigid base fit the mounting pattern on my existing equipment?
The motor uses a standard NEMA 182/4 frame with a rigid steel base; verify your equipment’s bolt-hole pattern against NEMA 182/4 dimensions before installation.
How can I confirm the motor is running at its rated efficiency after startup?
Measure the line current at full load — it should read approximately 7.8 A at 230 V or 3.9 A at 460 V — and check that the shaft speed is near the 3445 RPM nameplate value.
