What motor should I put in my furnace or air conditioner? In this episode of Spec. Sense, Vance explains what specifications you'll need to find a matching motor. This is a detailed guide and will offer a breakdown of each specification.
Finding a replacement HVAC motor includes matching the physical specs, electrical specs, speed and the direction of rotation. You'll also learn why its important to replace your motor capacitor and learn what ratings to match on the capacitor.

This is one of the best technical instruction videos I have seen in you tube. Great content, graphics, AV, and production value. You stated that the nameplate AMPS on a multi-speed motor is taken when the motor is running on its highest speed, if the same motor has dual voltage rating (208/230V) and a single value amp rating, at what and speed and voltage is this AMPS value recorded?

@AmreSupply 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! We put a lot of work into making filming and creating the graphics so we're glad that you found the video helpful! In your example of the (208/230V) the motor is designed to work within that range without a significant change in speed or amperage. In the case of a true dual voltage motor you'll generally see two voltage and two amp ratings. This will show both (115/230V) and there will be two amp ratings with the higher amperage draw when used with 115V. You can see this in this example here: www.amresupply.com/part/UE-731A-Alltemp-Directdrive-motor-5inDia-1140RPM

So informative - thank you! Can I take the concepts learned here (matching the physical and electrical specs) to select an ECM motor to replace my PSC motor in my outdoor condenser unit? If not, how can I find an ECM motor that will be compatible with my unit?

@AmreSupply 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. Yes you'd still match based on HP, diameter, mounting and the general specs as outlined in this video. Many ECM motors are compatible with different voltages or sometimes a range of speeds so you'll have to connect specific wires to fit for your application. The other thing you can do is use your old motor number as a cross reference, this can help you narrow down a match. Here's an example: www.amresupply.com/part/46013-Packard-EC-DirectDrive-motor

Great video and informative. Last year I replaced my air handle blower motor on my heat pump system. Since then the airflow from the vents seems weaker than it should be and it has to run longer to cool my home. The original motor was 1/4hp 1075rpm 2.1fla 208/230v. The replacement matches all of this except for being only 1.6fla. My erroneous thinking was that this was just a more efficient motor, but based on the video I'm thinking the lower amperage (almost 25% less) is equaling less output from the motor and in turn less airflow. Do you think this is a likely cause?

@AmreSupply 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, we're glad that you found the video helpful. A lower amp rating can sometimes mean that the motor is more efficient but this depends on the manufacture so it is hard to determine. The hp ratings aren't always the most useful. In your case it is likely that the motor with the lower full load amps, is an under-powered motor resulting in lower airflow. The motor is likely running hotter and for longer, so it might wear out prematurely.

thanks for this wonderful video, on my opinion i think Amps and HorsePower do not need to match original motor, it can be little higher (not lower) , should be fine. but RPM and Voltage must match, what do you think ?

@AmreSupply 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching, we're glad that you found it helpful! HVAC motors have a range of efficiencies so 2 motors can often have the same HP rating but a different amp draw but that depends on the setup. A lower amp rating doesn't always mean more efficient, it means the insulation on the windings is weaker. When choosing the same type of motor, (for example if the original and the replacement are both PSC motors) then matching the HP and amp rating should yield similar results as the motors should have a similar efficiency. Choosing a motor with a wildly different amp rating can result in overheating. This is why many techs will measure the amps while it is running to compare it to the FLA or the full load amps. For best results match as closely as you can.

What if the motor shaft length are not the same? Our new replacement has a longer shaft length. And our replacement have 11 cables while our old one has 7 cables, will that have a significant effect?

@AmreSupply 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. The motor shaft length is only a problem if there isn't enough room for the shaft. In some cases a small different of an inch might not make a different in how it is mounted. If the new motor has additional wires it could be a multi-speed motor with additional speeds. Make sure to read the nameplate on the side of the motor to see which wires should be connected. The wire colors that correspond to each speed may be different on the new motor.

I come from the IT world and I can get spec sheets from each of the other parts to determine compatibility, or even the PC manufacturer keeps spec lists if it was a standard model. In the HVAC world can you determine compatibility based on the other equipment you see there, or obtain the specs lists from the manufacturer or have some other listing? Some years ago a professional HVAC technician replaced out old motor, which was also non-descript untagged and it has worked fine ever since. I feel there must be some approach to take in that situation.

Some ECM motors have the board separate from the motor, and other ECM motors have the control board and capacitors built into the motor housing. With ECM motors that have a built in control board, there will be less visible wires. Check the motor specs, and any pdfs that come with that new motor to make sure that it matches the old one. It should also have a reference for for the wiring.

Best thing is to look at the motor nameplate for the various hp ratings and wire taps. This will tell you the load that it can safely run at the rated speed.

My AC guy put a blower motor in my Goodman package unit that is not the same as suggested. The blower motor is spinning very slowly and the lines are freezing up because of the lack of proper airflow. He used a 1/2 hp 230 v 3sp 8pl 2.4 amp . Capacitor 15uf 370v. It is supposed to take a 1/3 hp 230v 3sp 6pl. 1.8 amps. The one he used is designed for a Goodman which mine is but not for my specific model. Is this why it is running so slowly? He thinks it is a wiring issue while I think he just used the wrong blower motor.

Never heard of an "underloaded" motor overheating? (But what do I know) And I've never heard of an underloaded motor drawing more amps than are listed (which would change it's efficiency) . If anything, doesn't it often draw a tiny bit lower amperage? And as far as efficiency goes. It might change the efficiency of your overall system,..but the motor itself, if oversized, usually draws the amperage listed on the nameplate. Am I missing something? Maybe I am. Thanks for the video.

@AmreSupply 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. If you're curious for more reading on motors, search google for "fasco motor facts pdf" which is one manufacturer that makes good supplementary material. From page 30 from the PDF "An underloaded motor is one too strong for the job. Using too strong a motor for a replacement is evident when its amperage draw is 25% less than the nameplate reading. Using a motor with excessive horsepower can also cause increased heat rise due to decreased efficiency. Over motoring an application increases RPM very little. In most cases RPM for a six pole motor designed to operate at 1075 would only increase by 50 RPM if the motor’s power was doubled."

1st time motor buyer here. Trying to match my old Emerson K55HXCEP-6404 blower motor. I found a Goodman 5KCP39FGV064AS # 3S008. But, few things don't match just right. Mine has 6.5amps, but the Goodman is 5.1amps. My shaft is 4", but Goodman is 3.5". Also, if I'm measuring mine correctly, my removable belly band is bolted on at 12" diameter, but Goodman max diameter is 10", and the bracket looks welded on the motor body. There must a be a workaround for that, right? So, I maybe the Goodman might work with some guidance. I'm also considering buying the exact OEM replacement. An OEM for my 26 year old unit seems a little too good to be true even though it costs $100 more. Both motors are advertised online. Any guidance is much appreciated!
