Motor specifications

The Dayton 5BE60 is a capacitor-start fan and blower motor rated at 1.5 horsepower with a nameplate speed of 1725 RPM. It operates on single-phase power at 115 volts or 208-230 volts AC, drawing 13.2 amps at the lower voltage and 7.2 to 6.6 amps at the higher voltages. The 56Z frame fits standard HVAC mounting patterns.

Voltage and protection details

The motor is usable at 208 volts but not at 200 volts, and it carries a service factor of 1.15 for continuous duty cycles. Automatic thermal protection and Class B insulation guard against overheating up to a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. Rotation is reversible between clockwise and counter-clockwise, and the open drip-proof enclosure suits indoor airflow applications.

Installation requirements

Verify that your supply voltage matches either 115 volts or the 208-230 volt range before wiring, because 200 volts is not supported. Confirm the 56Z frame dimensions and stud mounting pattern align with your existing blower housing. Ensure the shaft rotation direction can be set to match the fan wheel, and check that the open drip-proof rating is acceptable for the installation environment.

Questions about this item

Will the capacitor-start mechanism or bearings need scheduled replacement on this 1.5 HP motor?

Capacitor-start motors use a centrifugal switch and start capacitor that can wear over time; bearings in the 56Z frame are lubricated for long life but may eventually require service.

What thermal limit stops the motor first during continuous duty at 40 °C ambient?

The Class B insulation and automatic thermal protection are rated for 40 °C maximum ambient; sustained overload beyond the 1.15 service factor will trip the internal protector.

How loud and how hot does the open drip-proof enclosure get when running all day at 1725 RPM?

Open drip-proof designs move air directly through the windings, so surface temperature rises with load but stays within Class B limits; audible noise is typical of single-speed 56Z frame motors at 1725 RPM.
