Nidec-US Motors 1696 Motor
The Nidec-US Motors 1696 Motor is a high-performance 3/4 HP blower motor designed to meet the rigorous demands of residential and light commercial HVAC 115V direct drive applications. Operating at a synchronous speed of 1625 RPM, this PSC direct drive motor features a three-speed capability, allowing technicians to fine-tune airflow for optimal furnace or air handler performance. Built with a NEMA 48Y frame, it provides a 5.6-inch diameter chassis and a 1/2-inch by 6-inch shaft, ensuring a physical match for standard blower assemblies. This open air over (OAO) enclosure unit is engineered for continuous duty, utilizing automatic thermal overload protection to safeguard the windings during peak summer or winter cycles. Whether you are performing a furnace blower motor replacement or upgrading an existing system, the Nidec 1696 delivers 8.6 Amps of reliable power and incorporates reversible rotation for maximum field flexibility.
Key Benefits- Versatile RPM Range: Operates at 1625 RPM across three distinct speeds for precise airflow management in various ductwork configurations.
- Direct Drive Compatibility: Designed for direct drive blower systems with a 1/2" diameter x 6" length shaft, fitting most standard fans.
- Robust Protection: Features automatic thermal overload protection and Class B insulation to maintain operational integrity in high-heat environments.
- Installation Flexibility: Includes reversible rotation capabilities and a 48Y frame which supports resilient ring or stud mounting options.
- High-Torque Performance: Provides 3/4 HP of mechanical power at 115V, drawing 8.6 Amps to move high volumes of air efficiently.
Is this motor compatible with 208-230V systems?
No, this specific model is a dedicated 115V single phase motor. Applying higher voltage will result in immediate winding failure.
What capacitor is required for operation?
This HVAC blower motor requires a 15 MFD / 370 VAC run capacitor. Using an incorrect rating can cause overheating or failure to start under load.
Can I use this for an outdoor condenser fan application?
The 1696 is an Open Air Over (OAO) motor intended for indoor blower assemblies. It is not designed for the vertical shaft or exposure to moisture typical of outdoor condenser units.
