Field Controls 46226500 Motor
The Field Controls 46226500 motor is a purpose-built 115V 1/3HP induction motor designed specifically for direct-drive power venting applications. Operating at a fixed 1725 RPM, this split-phase motor provides the high static pressure required to maintain proper draft in residential and light commercial combustion systems. It features a robust design that ensures consistent torque during the startup cycle, reducing mechanical stress on the blower assembly. As a direct replacement for Field Controls SWG series power venters, it maintains critical HVAC vent fan motor airflow specifications to prevent backdrafting and ensure safe appliance operation. Technicians will find the electrical connections straightforward for standard 115V AC circuits. This OEM replacement motor is essential for restoring system integrity when the original unit fails due to bearing wear or thermal overload. Selecting this exact power venter motor replacement ensures compatibility with existing control boards and pressure switches without necessitating field modifications or bracket adjustments.
Key Performance Features
- 115 Volt / 1/3 HP Power Rating: Provides precise electrical matching for Field Controls SWG-5 and compatible power venting units.
- 1725 RPM Fixed Speed: Calibrated to deliver the exact cubic feet per minute (CFM) required for maintaining flue vacuum.
- High Torque Output: Designed to overcome initial static resistance in exhaust ductwork and heavy blower wheels.
- NEMA Frame Compatibility: Ensures a drop-in fit for existing mounting hardware, reducing labor time on the job site.
- Thermal Protection: Built to withstand the high ambient temperatures common in utility rooms and near combustion equipment.
Common Installation Questions
Is the Field Controls 46226500 motor reversible?
No, this motor is factory-set for specific rotation to match the centrifugal blower wheel in the power venter housing. Always verify rotation direction before final installation.
What are the symptoms of a failing power venter motor?
Common indicators include increased mechanical noise, tripping of the limit switch due to insufficient draft, or the motor "humming" without turning, which often points to a seized bearing or failed start winding.
Can I use this 1725 RPM motor to replace a 3450 RPM motor?
No. Using a motor with a different RPM rating will significantly alter the venting capacity and can lead to dangerous CO buildup or equipment failure. Always match the nameplate RPM exactly.
