Three-phase motor for industrial equipment
The Dayton 3N696 is a 3/4 HP general-purpose motor built for continuous duty in industrial and HVAC applications. It runs on 208-230/460V AC three-phase power at 60 Hz and delivers a nameplate speed of 1,725 RPM. The steel frame measures 56 and uses rigid base mounting with ball bearings for reliable operation. Nominal efficiency reaches 81.1 percent with a 1.15 service factor.
Suits fixed-speed machinery on three-phase supply
This motor fits equipment that requires a fixed 1,725 RPM output and a standard 56 frame mounting pattern. It is not suited for single-phase installations or variable-speed drives because it has no thermal protection and is designed for continuous operation at full load. Buyers who need a different frame size, single-phase wiring, or built-in overload protection should look at other models.
Rigid base mounting with dual-voltage wiring
Installation uses the rigid steel base and standard 56 frame bolt pattern. The dual-voltage design accepts 208-230V or 460V connections; wiring must match the supply voltage to avoid damage. The motor rotates in either direction and operates up to 40 degrees Celsius ambient temperature. Common issues include incorrect voltage tap selection and missing external overload protection required by the application.

Questions about this item
What three-phase voltage supply does the 3/4 HP motor need?
The motor is rated for 208-230/460V AC at 60 Hz, so a matching three-phase service is required.
Will the 56 frame fit my existing rigid-base mounting?
Yes, it uses a standard NEMA 56 frame with rigid base mounting compatible with existing bolt patterns.
How can I verify the motor is running at its rated speed after installation?
Measure shaft speed under load; it should read close to the 1,725 RPM nameplate value.
