Motor Specification
The Dayton 6K146 is a 5 hp single-phase general-purpose motor rated for 3540 RPM on a 230V AC supply. Its 184T frame and keyed shaft suit rigid-base mounting in industrial equipment.
Thermals and Power
Continuous duty is supported up to a 40 degrees C ambient temperature with a 1.15 service factor. The totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure draws 19.6 A at full load and has no internal thermal protection.
Mounting and Rotation
CW/CCW rotation and all-angle mounting give installation flexibility for direct-drive or belt-driven loads. The capacitor-start/run design provides starting torque for heavy inertial loads without additional control gear.

Questions about this item
How do I wire the 230V single-phase supply to the capacitor-start/run terminals on the 184T frame motor?
Connect the two hot legs to the motor's line terminals following the internal diagram; the built-in capacitor-start/run circuit handles phase shift automatically, and the keyed shaft ensures correct coupling alignment.
What maintenance does the totally enclosed fan cooled 5 hp motor require over its service life?
The sealed bearings are lubricated for life and the TEFC enclosure keeps contaminants out; only periodic cleaning of the external cooling fins and checking the rigid base bolts for tightness are needed.
At what ambient temperature does the 1.15 service factor motor reach its thermal limit during continuous duty?
The motor is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 40°C; running continuously above this temperature will exceed the insulation class F limits before any other protection activates.
