General-Purpose Capacitor-Start Motor
The Dayton 5K192 is a single-phase capacitor-start motor rated at 1/3 hp for continuous-duty industrial and commercial equipment. It operates on dual-voltage 115/208-230V AC at 60 Hz and fits a standard 48 frame with a rigid base for all-angle mounting.
Upgrade From Split-Phase Or Lower-Horsepower Units
The capacitor-start design delivers higher starting torque than split-phase alternatives, making the jump worthwhile when driving compressors, conveyors or pumps that need reliable breakaway torque. A 1.15 service factor provides a modest margin for occasional overload without moving to a larger frame size.
1725 RPM Output With Thermal Protection
At nameplate speed the motor handles steady loads such as fans, blowers and gear-driven machinery within a 40 °C maximum ambient temperature. Automatic thermal protection and Class B insulation guard against overheating during continuous operation. It is not suited for variable-speed applications or environments exceeding the rated ambient limit.

Questions about this item
What are the shaft height and bolt-hole pattern for the 48 frame rigid base?
The motor uses a standard NEMA 48 frame with a rigid base; the shaft centre height is 3 inches and the mounting holes follow the NEMA 48 pattern.
How do I wire the dual-voltage leads and where does the start capacitor connect?
For 115 V join the two run windings in parallel and connect the start capacitor to the designated start terminals; for 208–230 V wire the run windings in series and use the same capacitor terminals.
When should the start capacitor be checked or replaced?
Inspect the capacitor if the motor hums but will not start, trips on overload, or after several years of continuous duty at the 1.15 service factor.
