Century Motors C455 Motor
The Century Motors C455 is a high-performance 1/3 HP blower motor designed for continuous duty in demanding HVAC and industrial environments. Engineered as a 91400 direct replacement, this 1725 RPM fan motor features a high-starting torque design, making it ideal for systems that require immediate acceleration under load. Built with a NEMA 56 frame and a rugged open drip-proof (ODP) enclosure, it ensures optimal airflow and cooling for internal components while maintaining a high 1.35 service factor for reliable operation during peak demand.
This capacitor start motor is fully reversible, allowing for clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation to match your specific fan or blower configuration. It operates on a versatile 115/208-230V single-phase power supply with a current draw of 6.6/3.0-3.3 Amps. The sleeve bearing system provides quiet operation, which is critical for commercial air handlers and ventilation units. Safety is prioritized with an integrated auto overload protector, shielding the windings from thermal damage during voltage fluctuations or mechanical binding.
Key Benefits- 91400 direct replacement ensures a seamless drop-in fit for existing 56-frame multi-purpose installations.
- High starting torque provides the necessary power to break static friction in belt-driven blowers and heavy-duty fans.
- Reversible rotation offers maximum field flexibility, reducing the need to stock multiple SKUs for different directional requirements.
- 1.35 Service Factor allows the motor to handle intermittent overloads beyond its 1/3 HP rating without immediate failure.
- Automatic thermal protection prevents motor burnout by disconnecting power if internal temperatures exceed safe operating limits.
Is the Century C455 suitable for belt-drive applications?
Yes, its high-starting torque and 56-frame construction are specifically designed to handle the initial load requirements typical of belt-driven centrifugal blowers and fans.
How do I change the rotation on this motor?
The C455 motor is electrically reversible. Rotation can be adjusted by following the wiring diagram on the nameplate, typically involve switching the positions of the internal lead wires.
Can this motor be used in damp environments?
While the ODP enclosure protects against vertical water drops, it is primarily designed for indoor use or within protected housings where airflow is abundant and direct exposure to heavy moisture is limited.
