Lennox 97W55 Motor
The Lennox 97W55 is a professional-grade 1/2 HP ECM blower motor designed specifically for air handlers and furnace units requiring a constant torque response. As a programmed X13 motor, this OEM component operates within a speed range of 600 to 1200 RPM, automatically adjusting its output to maintain consistent airflow across varying static pressures. This variable speed motor utilizes a 208-230V single-phase power supply at 60Hz, drawing approximately 4.1 Amps under full load. Built with a robust NEMA 48 frame and featuring high-efficiency ball bearings, the Lennox 97W55 motor ensures quiet operation and long-term mechanical stability. Technicians should note the CCW rotation and horizontal belly band mounting requirements to ensure a seamless drop-in replacement for the Lennox 46132-061 or R46132-061 part numbers. By maintaining the intended factory specifications, this programmed HVAC motor preserves the integrity of the total system airflow and efficiency.
- Optimized Airflow Management: The constant torque X13 technology adapts to duct restriction, ensuring steady CFM delivery.
- Precision OEM Programming: Factory-set parameters eliminate the need for field programming, providing an exact match for Lennox air handlers.
- High-Efficiency ECM Design: Significant reduction in power consumption compared to traditional PSC motors.
- Durable Construction: Features a resilient 48-frame housing and sealed ball bearings for heavy-duty industrial or residential use.
Common Questions
Is the Lennox 97W55 a direct replacement for PSC motors?
No, this is an electronically commutated motor (ECM). It requires specific wiring and control signals designed for X13 constant torque applications. Always verify your control board compatibility before attempting a conversion.
Does this motor require a capacitor?
Because the 97W55 is an ECM, it does not utilize a traditional run capacitor. The internal inverter electronics handle the phase shifting and start-up torque requirements.
What causes typical failure in these programmed motors?
Most failures stem from high static pressure or unbalanced blower wheels causing excessive vibration. It is recommended to inspect the blower wheel and clean the evaporator coil to ensure the new motor operates within its design parameters.
