What this motor replaces
The Dayton 3M265 is a 1/3 hp permanent-split-capacitor condenser fan motor built for HVAC equipment that calls for a 48YZ frame and 208-230 V single-phase power. It suits technicians and facility managers who need a direct drop-in for worn-out OEM units.
Steady output in high heat
Rated for continuous duty at up to 60 °C ambient, the motor delivers 1625 RPM at 3.1 A full-load current without thermal trips thanks to its Class B insulation and automatic reset protection. The open air-over enclosure relies on the application's airflow, so it runs coolest when mounted in the intended condenser airstream.
Flexible mounting, fixed wiring
A 6-inch shaft and cradle base allow horizontal or vertical shaft-up installation, while reversible rotation covers both CW and CCW requirements. The 48YZ frame bolts to standard cradle brackets, but the motor has no built-in capacitor or plug, so the installer must supply the correct run capacitor and hard-wire the leads.

Questions about this item
How hot does the 48YZ frame motor run when operating continuously at 60 °C ambient?
The motor carries Class B insulation and auto thermal protection, rated for continuous duty at a maximum ambient temperature of 60 °C.
What electrical supply and capacitor does the 1/3 hp PSC motor require?
It needs a 208-230 V AC single-phase supply and a permanent split capacitor (not included) matched to the 3.1 A full-load rating.
Will the 6 in shaft and cradle base fit my existing 48-frame condenser housing?
The 48YZ frame with 6 in shaft length and cradle-base mounting matches standard 48-frame dimensions for horizontal or vertical shaft-up installation.
