Dayton 36VF55 Three-Phase Motor 1/4 HP 56C 230/460V AC
Three-phase general-purpose motor delivers 1/4 HP at 1160 RPM with dual-voltage 230/460V AC operation in a 56C frame
- Delivers reliable three-phase power with 1/4 HP output
- Totally enclosed fan-cooled design protects against dust and moisture
- Dual-voltage 230/460V AC suits multiple supply configurations
- 56C C-face mounting simplifies direct coupling to driven equipment
- Continuous-duty rating with 1.15 service factor handles sustained loads
1/4 HP Three-Phase Motor
The Dayton 36VF55 is a 1/4 HP three-phase general purpose motor built in a 56C frame. It operates on 230/460V AC at 60 Hz with a nameplate speed of 1160 RPM. The totally enclosed fan cooled steel frame carries CE, CSA and UL marks and is rated for continuous duty in ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees C.
Suited for fixed-speed industrial drives
This motor fits equipment that uses a C-face mounting pattern and requires clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation at a constant 1160 RPM. The 1.15 service factor provides a modest overhead for intermittent loading. Buyers who need variable speed control, integrated thermal protection or a different frame size should look at other models.
1/4 HP continuous output with 1.15 service factor
At full load the motor draws 1.0 A at 230 V or 0.55 A at 460 V and delivers 68 percent nominal efficiency. The 1.15 service factor allows temporary operation above the 1/4 HP rating. Applications demanding higher continuous horsepower, faster synchronous speeds or built-in overload protection will exceed what this unit provides.

Questions about this item
What three-phase power supply do I need to run the 230/460 V AC motor?
The motor is rated for 230 V or 460 V AC at 60 Hz, drawing 1.0 A at 230 V or 0.55 A at 460 V, so your three-phase service must match one of those voltages.
Will the 56C frame and C-face mount fit the pump or gearbox I already use?
The 56C frame with C-face mounting bolts directly to any NEMA 56C compatible pump, gearbox or driven equipment using the standard four-bolt pattern.
How can I confirm the motor is delivering its rated 1/4 HP after installation?
Measure line current at full load; it should read close to 1.0 A at 230 V or 0.55 A at 460 V, and the shaft should turn at approximately 1160 RPM under load.
