Dayton 5RHU1 motor for ceiling fans
This Dayton 5RHU1 motor is built for ceiling fan installations that need a permanent split capacitor design. It runs on single phase power at 825 RPM and offers four selectable speeds. The unit operates continuously at up to 60 degrees C ambient temperature with automatic thermal protection.
Flexible mounting and wiring
The motor uses a 48YZ frame with stud mounting and an all angle mounting position, allowing it to fit various ceiling fan housings. A six inch shaft length and 36 inch lead length give extra reach for wiring and blade attachment. Clockwise and counter clockwise rotation is supported for airflow direction control.
Verify voltage and frame fit
Confirm your supply voltage falls within the 208 to 230V AC range and that your fan housing accepts a 48YZ frame with stud mounting. The motor draws between 3.9 and 1.4 amps at full load, so ensure the circuit can handle that current. No capacitor is included with the motor.

Questions about this item
Does the 1/2 hp permanent split capacitor motor require capacitor replacement over time?
The motor uses a permanent split capacitor design with auto thermal protection and Class B insulation for continuous duty at up to 60 °C ambient.
Which limit appears first during all‑day operation at 825 rpm — thermal protection or the 3.9 A full‑load current?
Auto thermal protection trips before winding temperature exceeds Class B limits, while full‑load current ranges from 3.9 A at 208 V to 1.4 A at 230 V.
How much heat and noise does the open air‑over enclosure produce when running continuously on 208‑230 V?
The open air‑over enclosure relies on the driven airflow for cooling; continuous duty rating and 60 °C max ambient keep temperature rise within Class B limits.
