Dayton 3N841 Three-Phase Motor Overview
The Dayton 3N841 is a 1/4 HP three-phase general purpose motor built for industrial and commercial equipment. It operates on 230/460V AC at 60/50 Hz with a nameplate speed of 1,725 RPM. The 42CZ frame uses a C-face mounting design for direct coupling to pumps, gearboxes or fans. A steel frame and ball bearings support continuous duty cycles in ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees C.
Fit for Fixed-Speed Three-Phase Installations
This motor suits maintenance teams replacing a failed 42CZ-frame unit on existing three-phase infrastructure where voltage matches 230 or 460V AC. It is not for buyers who need single-phase power, variable-speed control or a different frame size. Applications requiring integrated thermal overload protection or a higher efficiency class should look elsewhere.
Build Integration: Voltage, Mounting and Duty
The motor requires a three-phase supply rated for 1.2 amps at 230V or 0.60 amps at 460V and a starter or contactor sized to the 1.15 service factor. C-face mounting bolts directly to driven equipment, freeing floor space and eliminating belt alignment. CE, CSA and UL listings simplify compliance for OEM panels or retrofit projects. Continuous duty rating allows non-stop operation within the 40 degree C ambient limit.

Questions about this item
What three-phase voltage supply does the 3N841 motor require?
The motor runs on 230/460 V AC three-phase power at 60/50 Hz.
Will the 42CZ frame and C-face mount match my existing pump bracket?
The 42CZ frame with C-face mounting bolts directly to standard NEMA 42CZ pump brackets.
How can I confirm the motor is delivering its rated output after wiring?
Measure full-load current; it should read approximately 1.2 A at 230 V or 0.60 A at 460 V while running at 1,725 RPM.
