Dayton 1/2 hp HVAC control motor
The Dayton 5WJC5 is a single-phase permanent split capacitor motor rated at 1/2 hp and 1075 RPM. It operates on 115V AC at 60 Hz with a full-load current of 6.5 A. The unit is designed for continuous duty in room air-conditioner applications.
Open air-over enclosure and 48Y frame
The motor uses an open air-over enclosure that requires direct airflow from the blower wheel for cooling. Its 48Y frame and cradle-base mounting suit horizontal installations where the shaft can be coupled to a fan. Auto thermal protection and Class B insulation guard against overload within a 60 °C maximum ambient temperature.
Four-speed shaft with 8 1/2 in reach
A four-speed tap provides airflow adjustment for varying load conditions. The 8 1/2 inch shaft extension and 60 inch leads give flexibility for positioning inside the cabinet. The reversible CW/CCW rotation allows the same motor to serve either handed blower assembly.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 4-speed version or a single-speed motor for my air conditioner?
This motor provides four selectable speeds so you can match airflow to cooling demand instead of running at full output all the time.
What does the 1075 RPM rating mean once the motor is installed in my unit?
At full load the shaft turns at 1075 revolutions per minute, delivering the rated half-horsepower output for the fan or blower it drives.
Will the 115 V AC supply in my building work with this motor, and what current should I expect?
It is designed for 115 V AC at 60 Hz and draws 6.5 A at full load, so the circuit must supply that voltage and handle the amperage.
