Nidec-US Motors 4960 Motor
The US Motors 4960 is a heavy-duty 1/3 HP condenser fan motor designed for demanding outdoor HVAC applications. Operating at 1075 RPM and 230V, this Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor features an Open Air Over (OAO) enclosure to facilitate maximum heat dissipation during continuous operation. Built on a 48Y NEMA frame with a resilient base mount, it utilizes double-sealed ball bearings to handle high ambient temperatures and vertical-shaft-down or shaft-up orientations. The 1/2" diameter shaft and reversible rotation capability make it a versatile drop-in replacement motor for various OEM condensing units. With a low 2.2 Amp draw and Class B insulation, the Nidec 4960 provides high-efficiency performance and reliable torque for residential and light commercial cooling systems.
Key Benefits
- Versatile Installation: The reversible rotation and 48Y frame ensure compatibility with a wide range of condenser fan blades and mounting brackets.
- Extended Service Life: Ball bearing construction reduces friction and allows for reliable operation in extreme outdoor environments.
- Optimal Thermal Management: The Open Air Over design uses the system's airflow to maintain safe internal operating temperatures.
- Simplified Mounting: Features a resilient base to dampen vibration and reduce structural noise transfer through the cabinet.
Common Questions
What capacitor is required for the US Motors 4960?
This 1/3 HP motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor (sold separately) for proper startup and running torque.
Can this motor be mounted in any orientation?
Yes, the double-sealed ball bearings allow for all-angle mounting, making it suitable for horizontal, shaft-up, or shaft-down configurations.
Is the 4960 compatible with multi-speed systems?
The 4960 is a single-speed 1075 RPM motor. Always verify that your existing fan leads match the 230V single-phase requirements of this unit.
