DAYTON 31LH35 3-phase 3 Hp 1735 208-230/460v 86.9

Dayton 31LH35 AC motor converts electrical energy into mechanical power to make things move. It is useful in the manufacturing, transportation, agriculture and construction industries. This general-purpose motor finds application in conveyor systems, fans & blowers, compressors and machine tools.

Working Mechanism:

• Dayton AC motor works on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
• When AC power is applied to the motor's coils, it creates a rotating magnetic field that interacts with the rotor (usually a squirrel-cage rotor).
• It causes the rotor to turn and produce mechanical motion.

Features:

• Dayton 31LH35 AC motor is inverter rated, making it compatible with variable frequency drives (VFDs) for precise speed control and energy efficiency.
• It is designed for continuous duty so that it can run non-stop without overheating, ensuring long-lasting and reliable operation.
• This motor can be operated at either 230 or 460V, offering flexibility to adapt to different voltage systems.
• It has an open drip-proof design that offers protection against environmental moisture and contaminants.
• This Dayton motor features a rigid base mounting type that allows secure and stable installation in horizontal positions.
• Its keyed motor shaft design enhances the motor's compatibility with different equipment and reduces the risk of slippage, ensuring efficient power transmission.
• This three-phase motor is made of rolled steel for durability and structural integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between single-phase and three-phase AC motors?

A. Single-phase AC motors operate on a single voltage phase. Three-phase AC motors use three voltage phases and are more common in industrial applications, offering higher efficiency and power.

Q. How do you control the speed of this Dayton 31LH35 AC motor?

A. The speed of this Dayton AC motor can be controlled by adjusting the frequency of the AC power supply or by using various control mechanisms, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs) or by changing the number of poles in the motor.

Q. What are the key safety considerations when working with AC motors?

A. Safety precautions include disconnecting power before performing maintenance, ensuring proper grounding, following lockout / tagout procedures and using appropriate personal protective equipment when working with AC motors.
