General-purpose capacitor-start motor
This Dayton 6K407 motor delivers 1 hp of single-phase power for machinery and shop equipment. It runs at 725 RPM on a 56HZ frame and accepts 115/208-230V AC at 60 Hz. Continuous duty cycle and Class B insulation suit industrial environments. The totally enclosed fan-cooled design protects internal components.
Build integration and electrical needs
Rigid-base mounting allows installation at any angle without special brackets. Dual-voltage wiring lets the motor connect to 115 V or 208-230 V supplies drawing 14.0 A or 6.9-7.0 A respectively. A 1.15 service factor provides margin for occasional overloads. No thermal protection is built in, so external overload devices are required.
What the supplied features change
Capacitor-start design produces higher starting torque than split-phase types for loaded equipment. Reversible rotation (CW/CCW) is selectable during wiring for flexible drive direction. Usable at 208 V extends compatibility across common industrial voltages. Maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C defines the operating envelope without derating.
