General-Purpose Capacitor-Start Motor

The Dayton 5FTT2 is a single-phase, dual-speed motor rated at 1 hp and 1/3 hp for 115 V AC supplies. It suits continuous-duty applications such as fans, pumps or conveyors where two fixed speeds are required.

Dual-Speed 115 V AC Operation

The motor delivers nameplate speeds of 1,725 and 1,140 RPM at 60 Hz, drawing 11.9 A at high speed and 6 A at low speed. Its 1.15 service factor allows occasional overload, while automatic thermal protection and Class B insulation guard against overheating up to a 40 °C ambient.

56 Frame Cradle-Base Mounting

A steel 56 frame with cradle base and keyed shaft provides the mechanical interface. Verify that the driven equipment matches this frame size, shaft design and CW/CCW rotation capability before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I select the 1 hp or the 1/3 hp setting for my application?

The motor delivers 1 hp at 1,725 RPM and 1/3 hp at 1,140 RPM; choose the higher speed for full output or the lower speed when reduced power is sufficient.

What does the 1,725 RPM nameplate speed mean once the motor is installed?

At 1 hp the shaft turns at 1,725 RPM under full load, giving the rated torque for pumps, fans or compressors at 60 Hz.

How does the 115 V AC single-phase supply limit the motor in practice?

It draws 11.9 A at high speed and 6 A at low speed on a standard 115 V circuit, so the supply and protection must handle those currents.
