Dayton 3N694 Three-Phase Motor
The Dayton 3N694 is a general-purpose three-phase motor rated at 1/3 HP with a 56 frame size. It operates on 208-230/460V AC at 60 Hz and delivers a nameplate speed of 1765 RPM. The totally enclosed non-ventilated enclosure suits industrial environments requiring continuous duty operation.
Suitable applications and limits
This motor fits equipment needing a rigid base mount with CW/CCW shaft rotation flexibility. Buyers who require integrated thermal protection or a different frame size should look elsewhere. The lack of motor thermal protection means external safeguards are necessary for overload conditions.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous duty the motor maintains its nominal efficiency of 81.1 percent at full load amps of 1.4 to 1.5 at lower voltage or 0.70 A at 460V. The insulation class F and maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees C support steady operation. Ball bearings and steel frame construction provide durability during extended run periods.

Questions about this item
What three-phase voltage supply is required for the 3N694 motor?
The motor runs on 208-230/460 V AC three-phase power at 60 Hz.
Will the 56 frame and rigid base match my existing mounting pattern?
The 56 frame with rigid base uses the standard NEMA 56 footprint for direct replacement.
How can I verify the 3N694 is running at its rated speed after installation?
Measure shaft speed under load; it should read close to the 1765 RPM nameplate value.
