Dayton 6K197 1 HP 3450 rpm 56C TEFC Motor

SKU CH-EJR4-ZBVNH

Single-phase capacitor-start motor delivers 1 hp at 3450 rpm in a 56C TEFC frame with 115/208-230 V dual-voltage operation

  • typeClosed Base
  • 1 HP output for demanding fan and blower applications
  • 3450 RPM nameplate speed delivers high airflow performance
  • Dual-voltage 115/208-230 V AC wiring suits residential and light-commercial power
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled design protects windings in dusty or damp environments
  • 56C C-face mounting with rigid base allows direct coupling to driven equipment

General-Purpose 1 HP Capacitor-Start Motor

The Dayton 6K197 is a single-phase, capacitor-start motor rated at 1 HP and 3450 RPM. It suits equipment that needs a standard 56C C-face mounting with a rigid base. Continuous duty and automatic thermal protection make it reliable for industrial or commercial fan and pump applications.

Replaces Worn Single-Phase Motors

This unit replaces failed capacitor-start motors of the same 56C frame, 1 HP rating and 3450 RPM speed. The jump is worth it when the original motor shows overheating, bearing noise or reduced torque under load. Dual-voltage wiring (115 V or 208-230 V) lets it match the existing supply without rewiring the panel.

Verify Frame, Voltage and Rotation

Confirm the driven equipment uses a 56C C-face mount and that the shaft rotation direction matches the CW/CCW reversible design. Check that the supply voltage is either 115 V or 208-230 V at 60 Hz and that the ambient temperature stays within 40 °C. Ensure the starter and overload devices are rated for the listed full-load amps.

Questions about this item

What are the shaft and mounting dimensions of the 56C frame on this motor?

The motor uses a NEMA 56C frame with a C-face mounting flange and a rigid base for secure installation.

How do I wire the capacitor-start motor for 115 V versus 208-230 V operation?

Connect the leads for 115 V or 208-230 V as shown on the nameplate diagram; the motor draws 13.6 A at 115 V and 6.9-6.8 A at 208-230 V.

When should the bearings be inspected or replaced on a continuous-duty TEFC motor?

Inspect bearings annually under continuous duty at 40 °C ambient; replace if noise or vibration appears, as the motor has no user-serviceable lubrication points.
