Motor design and power
This Dayton unit bearing motor is a single-phase shaded-pole motor rated at 1/185 hp and four watts output. It runs on 230 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz with a full-load current of 0.17 A and a nameplate speed of 1,550 rpm. The cast-iron frame is totally enclosed for air-over cooling and carries Class A insulation with impedance thermal protection.
Fit and mounting constraints
The motor suits HVAC control applications that require a rear or foot-mounted, non-standard frame in a horizontal or vertical shaft-up orientation. Its CCWLE rotation and maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C limit use to environments that stay within that thermal range. Builders needing a standard NEMA frame, a different rotation direction or higher horsepower should look elsewhere.
Shaft rotation and enclosure
The shaft turns counter-clockwise when viewed from the lead end and the enclosure is totally enclosed air-over, so the motor must be installed where airflow passes over the housing for proper cooling.

Questions about this item
What power supply must I already have for this 230V AC motor?
You need a 230V AC supply rated for at least 0.17 A at 50 or 60 Hz.
Can I run this 1/185 hp motor on the same 230V circuit as my older shaded-pole fan?
Yes, it draws only 0.17 A at 230V AC, so it will share the circuit without overload.
How do I confirm the motor is running correctly after wiring it?
Verify the shaft turns counter-clockwise from the lead end at about 1,550 RPM and the housing stays below 40 °C.
