  • typeClosed Base
  • Dual-voltage 115/230V AC suits varied power supplies
  • 2 hp capacitor-start design delivers strong starting torque
  • 1740 RPM at 60 Hz matches common equipment speeds
  • 213-frame steel construction fits standard rigid-base mounts
  • Continuous duty with 1.15 service factor handles sustained loads

Motor type and target use

The Dayton 5K482 is a single-phase, capacitor-start general-purpose motor rated at 2 hp. It runs at 1,740 RPM on 60 Hz power and accepts dual-voltage 115/230V AC supply. The open drip-proof enclosure and rigid base suit fixed indoor installations such as pumps, compressors or conveyors.

Upgrade considerations

The motor replaces an existing single-speed unit of the same frame size and voltage when more output or a higher service factor is required. Its 1.15 service factor and Class F insulation allow sustained overloads that smaller or lower-class motors cannot tolerate. Buyers who need variable speed, reversible operation without rewiring or a totally enclosed enclosure cannot use this model.

Pre-order checks

Verify that the driven equipment matches the 213 frame dimensions and keyed shaft. Confirm the site voltage is either 115 V or 230 V and that the supply can deliver 24.6 A or 12.3 A respectively at full load. Ensure ambient temperature stays below 40 °C and that no thermal protection is mandated by local code, as the motor has none.

Questions about this item

What base and frame size does the 5K482 motor need for mounting?

The motor uses a rigid base and a 213 frame steel body, so the mounting surface must match that frame pattern.

How do I wire the dual-voltage 115/230V AC capacitor-start motor correctly?

Follow the nameplate diagram to set the internal jumpers for either 115 V or 230 V operation; the most common error is leaving the links in the wrong position for the supply voltage.

What ongoing maintenance does the open drip-proof 2 hp motor require?

With no thermal protection and continuous duty at 40 °C ambient, periodically clean dust from the open vents and check the capacitor and bearings for wear.
