Nidec-US Motors 1146 Motor
The Nidec US Motors 1146 is a professional-grade 1/6 HP blower motor engineered for reliable performance in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment. Operating at 115 Volts with a full-load current of 2.2 Amps, this PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor delivers a consistent 1100 RPM. Built on a 48Y NEMA frame, it features an Open Air Over (OAO) enclosure, making it ideal for installation within the airflow of blower compartments to maintain optimal operating temperatures. Its self-aligning ball bearing system provides a lower-maintenance alternative to sleeve bearing designs, ensuring extended life in vertical or horizontal orientations. This direct drive blower motor includes a 1/2" diameter shaft and offers reversible rotation via simple lead reversal, allowing it to drop into various air handler and furnace configurations. This multi-application HVAC motor is a staple for service technicians requiring a durable, high-torque solution for blower motor replacement.
- Enhanced Durability: Equipped with self-aligning ball bearings that handle heat and axial loads better than standard sleeve bearings.
- Universal Versatility: The reversible rotation and NEMA 48Y frame ensure broad compatibility with major OEM air handling units.
- Efficient Performance: The Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) design provides high starting torque and better electrical efficiency than shaded-pole alternatives.
- Thermal Protection: Features internal automatic reset thermal overload protection to prevent winding failure during high-static conditions.
Common Questions
Is the US Motors 1146 a direct replacement for 48-frame blower motors?
Yes, the NEMA 48Y frame and 1/2" shaft make it a standard fit for most 5-5/8 inch diameter motor mounts found in residential furnaces and AHUs.
How do I change the rotation on this motor?
This reversible blower motor allows for CW or CCW rotation by swapping the internal lead connections as indicated on the wiring diagram.
What capacitor is required for the Nidec 1146?
The motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370 VAC run capacitor to ensure proper PSC motor operation and torque delivery (sold separately).
