Dayton 1/8 hp Condenser Fan Motor
The Dayton 4M224 is a single-phase permanent split capacitor motor rated at 1/8 hp and 825 RPM. It operates on 208-230V AC power with a full-load current range of 0.95 to 0.80 amps. Designed for continuous duty, it suits HVAC condenser units and similar air-over applications. The 48YZ frame and six-inch shaft fit standard mounting configurations.
Practical limits of the 208-230V single-phase supply
The motor draws between 0.80 and 0.95 amps at full load, so the circuit and capacitor must support that current at 60 Hz. Insulation Class B and a maximum ambient temperature of 60 degrees C set the thermal boundary for reliable operation. Automatic thermal protection interrupts power if internal temperatures exceed safe limits. The totally enclosed air-over enclosure requires consistent airflow across the body for cooling.
Replaces worn condenser fan motors
This unit serves as a direct replacement for failed 1/8 hp, 825 RPM condenser fan motors using a 48YZ frame and stud mounting. The reversible CW/CCW rotation and vertical shaft-up or shaft-down mounting cover most OEM orientations. The upgrade is worth it when the original motor shows bearing noise, thermal trips, or reduced airflow. It is not for applications requiring multi-speed operation or higher horsepower ratings.

Questions about this item
Which voltage rating should I choose between 208 V and 230 V for my supply?
The motor is rated for a 208-230 V AC range and will operate on any supply within that window; select the voltage that matches your existing circuit.
What does the 825 RPM nameplate speed mean once the motor is installed?
825 RPM is the rated full-load speed at 60 Hz; actual speed will be very close to this figure when the motor drives its design load.
How does the 48YZ frame and 6 in. shaft determine fit in my condenser?
The 48YZ frame defines the bolt pattern and overall dimensions, while the 6 in. shaft length sets the mounting depth and coupling engagement for vertical shaft-up or shaft-down installation.
