Dayton 5K596 GP Mtr Split Ph TEFC 1/2 HP 1725 rpm 56 hvac control

SKU CH-RANE-5CVQH

Split-phase motor delivers 1/2 hp at 1725 rpm in a totally enclosed fan-cooled 56 frame for continuous HVAC duty

  • 1/2 hp continuous-duty power for demanding HVAC tasks
  • 1725 rpm single-speed operation delivers consistent airflow
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled design protects windings in harsh environments
  • 115 V AC supply with 8.0 A full-load current suits standard wiring
  • 56 frame rigid-base mounting fits common HVAC equipment patterns

Motor Type and Application

The Dayton 5K596 is a general-purpose split-phase motor rated at 1/2 horsepower with a nameplate speed of 1725 rpm. It operates on 115V AC single-phase power at 60 Hz and fits a standard 56 frame with a rigid base mount. The keyed shaft allows direct coupling to driven equipment in HVAC installations.

Enclosure and Thermal Limits

A totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) steel frame protects windings from dust and moisture while dissipating heat through external airflow. Continuous duty cycle is supported up to a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees C, with Class F insulation and a 1.0 service factor providing no overload margin. No internal thermal protection is fitted, so external overload devices are required.

Critical Selection Parameter

The 8.0-amp full-load current at 115V determines wire gauge, breaker sizing and starter selection for the circuit. Buyers who need a lower inrush current or built-in thermal overload must choose a different motor design.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 56-frame split-phase version or a different frame size?

The 56-frame size is fixed for this motor; match it to the mounting pattern and shaft dimensions of your existing equipment.

What does the 1/2 HP rating deliver on a live HVAC system?

At 115 V AC and 8.0 A full-load current the motor produces 1/2 horsepower at 1,725 rpm, suitable for continuous duty on fans or blowers rated for that output.

How does the split-phase 60 Hz design limit speed control options?

Split-phase windings run at a fixed 1,725 rpm on 60 Hz mains; the motor has no thermal protection and is not designed for variable-speed drives.
