Three-Phase Motor for Industrial Use

The Dayton 36VF18 is a three-phase general purpose motor rated at 1/4 HP with a 56C frame. It operates on 230/460V AC at 60 Hz and delivers a nameplate speed of 1160 RPM. The totally enclosed fan cooled design suits continuous duty in industrial environments.

Rigid Base and C-Face Mounting

Installation uses the rigid base with C-face motor mounting for direct coupling to driven equipment. The steel frame and ball bearings support reliable operation. No thermal protection is built in, so external overload protection must be provided by the installer. Verify rotation direction before final connection.

Voltage and Ambient Checks Required

Confirm your supply matches the dual-voltage 230/460V AC rating and three-phase configuration. The motor draws 1.0 amps at 230V or 0.55 amps at 460V full load. Ensure the installation area does not exceed the 40 degrees C maximum ambient temperature. Check that the 1.15 service factor meets your application demands.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the motor is running correctly after installation?

Measure the full-load current at 1.0 amps on 230 V or 0.55 amps on 460 V and verify the shaft speed reaches the nameplate 1160 RPM under load.

What ships with the motor and what must I supply separately?

The motor arrives with a rigid base and C-face mounting; you must provide the three-phase power supply, wiring, overload protection and any driven equipment.

Which voltage connection should I use for my 230 V or 460 V three-phase supply?

The dual-voltage nameplate lists 230/460 V AC; wire the leads for the voltage that matches your three-phase service.
