Dayton 6K481BG Capacitor-Start Motor 1/3 hp 115/208-230V

SKU CH-WSH6-D1682

A capacitor-start motor delivers 1/3 hp at 450 rpm on 115/208-230 V single-phase power with a 48 frame and continuous duty rating

  • typeClosed Base
  • Delivers 1/3 hp power for light-duty machinery
  • Capacitor-start design provides strong starting torque
  • Dual-voltage 115/208-230V suits varied shop wiring
  • Totally enclosed non-ventilated housing resists dust and moisture
  • Auto thermal protection guards against overload damage

General-purpose capacitor-start motor

The Dayton 6K481BG is a single-phase motor rated at one-third horsepower for continuous duty. It suits equipment that needs reliable starting torque on standard 60 Hz supplies. Builders wiring conveyors, pumps or shop tools will find the dual-voltage design practical. It is not for buyers who need variable-speed control or three-phase power.

Thermal protection and electrical draw

The enclosure is totally enclosed and non-ventilated with a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. Auto thermal protection resets after an overload without user intervention. Insulation class B supports the rated temperature rise during continuous operation. Full-load current measures 4.7 amps at 115 volts and 2.4 to 2.3 amps at 208-230 volts.

Rigid base mounting and shaft flexibility

A 48 frame rigid base bolts directly to flat surfaces in any orientation. The shaft rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise to match the driven load. Usable at 208 volts as well as 230 volts, the motor accommodates common North American supply voltages. California Proposition 65 notices apply to this product.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the 115/208-230V dual-voltage leads for a 230 V supply?

Connect the motor leads for the high-voltage configuration as shown on the nameplate diagram; the 48-frame rigid base has a standard conduit entry for the supply cable.

Which part will need replacement first on a capacitor-start motor?

The starting capacitor and centrifugal switch are the wear items; inspect the capacitor for bulging and the switch contacts for pitting during routine maintenance.

What limits continuous running at the 4.7 A full-load rating?

The Class B insulation and 40 °C maximum ambient temperature set the thermal limit; sustained overload or restricted airflow will trip the automatic thermal protector.
