Nidec-US Motors 1690 Motor
The Nidec-US Motors 1690 Motor is a high-performance 1/4 HP direct drive blower motor engineered for professional-grade HVACR applications. Operating on 115Vac single phase power, this motor delivers a high-speed 1625 RPM across 3 speeds, providing the airflow versatility required for precise system balancing. Built with a 48Y NEMA frame size and a standard 5.6-inch diameter, the 1690 is a drop-in replacement HVAC motor for various residential and light commercial air handlers and furnaces.
This Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor features an Open Air Over (OAO) enclosure, ensuring optimal heat dissipation during continuous duty cycles. The unit is equipped with self-aligning ball bearings for extended mechanical life and all-angle mounting capability. For maximum installation flexibility, it supports both ring and stud mounting and features reversible rotation (CW/CCW), allowing it to adapt to diverse blower wheel configurations. The 1/2-inch diameter shaft is 6 inches long with a flat, compatible with most standard blower wheels.
- Versatile Mounting: Supports ring or stud mount configurations in a compact 48Y frame for easy retrofitting.
- Multi-Speed Performance: 3-speed capability enables tailored airflow for improved static pressure management.
- Heavy-Duty Bearings: Self-aligning ball bearings provide smooth operation in all mounting angles.
- Reversible Rotation: Easily switch between CW and CCW rotations to match existing fan requirements.
- Thermal Protection: Includes automatic reset thermal overload protection to prevent winding damage.
Common Questions
What capacitor is required for the US Motors 1690?
This motor requires a 10 MFD / 370 VAC capacitor (sold separately) for proper startup and runtime efficiency.
Is this motor compatible with 208-230V systems?
No, this specific model is a dedicated 115V HVAC motor. Wiring it to a 230V source will cause immediate failure.
Can I use this for a condenser fan application?
While the 1625 RPM is common in condenser fans, this motor has an Open Air Over (OAO) enclosure, meaning it should only be used in protected indoor blower applications where it is shielded from direct weather exposure.
