Trane MOT16173 Motor
The Trane MOT16173 Motor is an essential OEM component designed for high-reliability air-over applications in both residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This 208-230V, 1/6 HP motor features an 8-pole configuration, a specification typically utilized where low-speed, high-torque airflow is required to maintain system static pressure without excessive noise. Built as an asynchronous induction motor, it operates on a single-phase power supply at 60Hz and is frequently found in fan and blower assemblies where precise thermal management is critical.
For service technicians, the MOT16173 offers a drop-in replacement fit, featuring a rugged rolled steel frame and a durable aluminum flange to combat corrosion in high-humidity environments. Its CW (clockwise) rotation and fractional horsepower design (0.12 kW equivalent) ensure it meets the Exact-Fit demands of Trane-specific air handlers and condenser units. Weighing approximately 15 lbs with a standard 5-inch motor length, this part streamlines the replacement process, ensuring consistent motor torque and line-voltage compatibility for 208V or 230V field applications.
Key Benefits:
- OEM Precision: Genuine Trane replacement motor ensures exact electrical characteristics and mounting alignment for specialized HVAC units.
- Enhanced Durability: Constructed with a rolled steel housing and aluminum flange for superior heat dissipation and environmental resistance.
- Quiet Operation: The 8-pole motor design provides lower RPM performance, reducing vibration and operational noise in residential settings.
- Contractor Grade: Designed for easy integration with existing 208-230V single-phase wiring, minimizing field adjustment time.
Common Questions:
Is this motor compatible with 208V and 230V systems?
Yes, the MOT16173 is rated for a 208-230V range, making it versatile for various electrical service configurations.
What is the rotation for this model?
This specific Trane HVAC motor is configured for CW (Clockwise) rotation as viewed from the lead end/shaft.
Does this require a specific capacitor?
While the motor is a PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) type, you should always check the manufacturer label on the existing unit to confirm the required MFD rating for optimal torque and life cycles.
