Carrier P257-8729 Motor
The Carrier P257-8729 is a high-performance 1/3 HP condenser fan motor engineered for heavy-duty residential and light commercial HVAC applications. Operating at 1075 RPM on a 208-230V, single-phase power supply, this PSC motor (Permanent Split Capacitor) provides reliable heat dissipation for outdoor units. It features a standard 48Y frame (5.6-inch diameter) and a 1/2-inch by 6-inch double-sided flat shaft, ensuring physical compatibility with a wide range of fan blade assemblies. This totally enclosed air over (TEAO) motor is designed for continuous duty and is thermally protected to prevent winding failure under high ambient temperatures, making it a rugged OEM replacement motor for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment.
Key Benefits:- Broad Compatibility: Serves as a direct-fit OEM replacement part for multiple Carrier, Bryant, and Payne models, including those previously utilizing part numbers HC41SZ232, P257-X092, and T257-3729.
- Versatile Installation: Equipped with reversible rotation capabilities and a double-sided shaft, allowing technicians to adapt the motor to various airflow requirements and mounting configurations.
- Extended Service Life: Features high-quality sleeve bearings and Class B insulation, optimized for the high-cycle demands of outdoor condenser environments.
- Standardized Performance: Maintains original system efficiency, ensuring the condenser fan provides the precise CFM needed to maintain proper refrigerant head pressure.
What capacitor is required for the P257-8729?
This motor requires a 7.5 MFD at 370 VAC run capacitor. To prevent premature motor failure and ensuring peak starting torque, it is best practice to replace the capacitor during the motor installation.
Is this motor reversible for different fan blade rotations?
Yes, the Carrier P257-8729 is electrically reversible. Technicians can easily switch the rotation direction by adjusting the wiring connector following the included diagram.
Can this motor replace a 1/4 HP or 1/5 HP motor?
While a higher horsepower motor can technically drive a load designed for a 1/4 HP motor, the 1/3 HP rating of the P257-8729 is specifically matched to the fan blade pitch and RPM requirements of specific Carrier-family units. Always verify the Full Load Amps (FLA) and frame size before substituting.
