Dayton 48ZJ90 2 HP 3-Phase Motor
The Dayton 48ZJ90 is a 2 horsepower three-phase general purpose motor built for continuous industrial duty. It suits machine-shop equipment, pumps, compressors and conveyors that need reliable torque at 1,750 RPM.
56H Frame 208-230/460V Capacity
Dual-voltage windings accept 208-230 or 460 volts AC at 60 or 50 Hz, drawing 5.7 or 2.8 full-load amps respectively. The 1.25 service factor provides headroom for intermittent overloads, while the 40 °C ambient limit and Class F insulation define the thermal boundary where continuous rating ends.
Inverter-Rated Rigid-Base Upgrade
This motor replaces fixed-speed units when variable-frequency-drive control is required, thanks to its inverter-rated design. The keyed shaft and rigid base simplify mounting on existing 56H frames, and reversible CW/CCW rotation covers both drive directions. It is not for applications needing built-in thermal protection or hazardous-location certification.

Questions about this item
Will the 56H frame and rigid base mounting match the bolt pattern on my existing pump?
The motor uses a NEMA 56H frame with a rigid base, so it shares the standard bolt pattern used on most 56H equipment.
How can I confirm the motor is running correctly after wiring it for 230 V?
Measure the current draw at full load; it should read near 5.7 A on the 230 V connection and the shaft should turn at the nameplate speed of 1,750 RPM.
Does the box include a key for the keyed shaft or do I need to supply one?
The keyed shaft is machined on the motor; a separate key is not included and must be purchased to fit your coupling or pulley.
