Motor type and application
The Dayton 48ZJ88 is a three-phase AC general-purpose motor rated at 1 1/2 HP in a 56H frame. It converts electrical energy into mechanical rotation for industrial and commercial machinery such as manufacturing lines and HVAC systems.
Electrical supply and installation checks
This motor operates on dual-voltage 230/460 V AC three-phase power and draws 4.3 A at the lower voltage or 2.1 A at the higher voltage under full load. Verify that your facility provides three-phase service at the required voltage and that the starter, overload protection and wiring are rated for the corresponding current before ordering.
Thermal and acoustic behaviour in continuous duty
The unit carries an EASA CC030A classification and is rated for continuous operation within its specified conditions. In normal use it runs at the temperature rise defined by its insulation class and produces sound levels typical for a 56H-frame industrial motor, with power draw matching the stated full-load amperage at the selected voltage.

Questions about this item
What comes with the Dayton 48ZJ88 motor and do I need to buy a mounting base separately?
The motor is supplied as the 56H frame unit only; a mounting base, pulleys, couplings and wiring are not included and must be sourced separately.
How do I choose between the 230 V and 460 V connection on this motor?
The motor is dual-voltage; wire the leads for 230 V to draw 4.3 A full-load current or for 460 V to draw 2.1 A, matching your supply voltage.
What does the 1 1/2 HP rating mean when the motor is running on a real load?
At full load the motor delivers 1 1/2 HP continuously, drawing 4.3 A at 230 V or 2.1 A at 460 V in a 56H frame.
