Century Motors 362A Motor
The Century Motors 362A is a high-performance multi-horsepower fan motor designed for versatile field replacement in residential and light commercial air handling units. Operating at 115V with a 1075 RPM rating, this PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor features a multi-tap design, allowing it to function at 1/10-1/15-1/25-1/35 HP outputs depending on the wiring configuration. As the direct replacement for the obsolete 362 model, the 362A maintains a 42-frame diameter and an open air over (OAO) enclosure, ensuring optimal thermal management during continuous operation. This sleeve bearing motor utilizes a 4-pole internal structure and requires a 5 MFD / 370 VAC capacitor for proper startup and torque efficiency. The 5-inch diameter and double-shaft configuration provide the necessary flexibility for OEM motor replacements in various blower and ventilation assemblies.
- Versatile Multi-Tap Wiring: Simplifies inventory by covering four different horsepower ratings in a single unit.
- Drop-In Serviceability: Engineered as the specific Century 362 motor cross reference, ensuring compatibility with existing mounting brackets and shaft requirements.
- Optimized Cooling: The OAO design utilizes the system's airflow to prevent windings from overheating, extending the operational life in high-duty cycles.
- Reliable PSC Design: Provides consistent 1075 RPM performance and high electrical efficiency compared to standard shaded-pole motors.
Common Installation Questions
Is the Century 362A a direct match for the older 362 model?
Yes, the 362A is the factory-designated replacement. It maintains identical physical dimensions and electrical specifications to ensure a seamless swap without modifying the housing or bracketry.
What capacitor is required for this motor?
This motor requires a 5 MFD 370V capacitor. Always replace the capacitor when installing a new motor to ensure the PSC motor starts under load and maintains the correct current draw.
Can this motor be used in totally enclosed applications?
No, this is an Open Air Over (OAO) motor. It relies on the movement of air from the fan blade or blower wheel to stay cool and should not be used in environments where it is shielded from the airstream.
