There was a Dayton instruction booklet in the box with my new motor. It was pretty thick and I hoped it had all the wiring diagrams for Dayton motors or something else useful.
Nope, just the regular stuff in 3 languages but there was a chart labeled "minimum wire size".
It is designed to hold starting current (LRA?) under 5%. That is some scary stuff, like a 1/2 HP motor 50 feet from the panel requires #8.

I hope inspectors don't start calling this a 110.3(B) requirement.
