Motor Specifications

The Dayton 3M226 is a new single-phase condenser fan motor rated at 1/4 hp with a nameplate speed of 1,075 RPM. It operates on 208-230V AC at 60 Hz and draws 2.3 to 2.5 amps at full load. The unit features a 48YZ frame, Class B insulation and automatic thermal protection for continuous duty in high-temperature environments.

Reversible Rotation And Mounting

The motor shaft turns clockwise or counter-clockwise and is 6 inches long, allowing direct replacement in either airflow direction. Its open air-over enclosure relies on the fan blade for cooling, while the cradle base supports horizontal or vertical shaft-up mounting. A permanent split capacitor design provides single-speed operation without an external run capacitor.

Installation Requirements

Verify that your system supplies 208-230V single-phase power and that the ambient temperature will not exceed 60 degrees Celsius. The 48YZ frame and cradle base must match the existing mounting pattern and shaft height. Buyers who need variable-speed control or a different voltage range should look for an alternative motor.

Questions about this item

Does the motor need periodic bearing lubrication?

The motor uses permanently lubricated ball bearings that require no scheduled oiling or greasing during their service life.

What thermal limit stops the motor first during continuous operation?

The built-in automatic thermal protector trips when internal winding temperature exceeds the Class B insulation limit at the rated 60 °C maximum ambient.

How hot does the casing get and how much power does it draw when running all day?

At full load the motor draws 2.3–2.5 A on 208–230 V AC, and the open air-over enclosure keeps the case near the 60 °C ambient rating with no forced-air cooling needed.
