Trane MOT17981 Motor

Trane MOT17981 Motor

This Trane MOT17981 Motor is a high-performance, three-phase condenser fan motor engineered for demanding commercial and industrial HVACR applications. Operating on a 208-230V electrical supply at 60Hz, this 1/2 HP motor delivers a consistent 1100 RPM output (referenced as 1140 RPM in some vertical configurations). Designed as a genuine OEM replacement part, it ensures precise mechanical compatibility with Trane systems, maintaining original equipment performance standards without the risk of dimensional mismatch. The MOT17981 features a robust frame construction and is frequently utilized in air-cooled condensers and outdoor fan assemblies. With its 3-phase design, it provides superior torque and operational efficiency compared to single-phase alternatives, reducing heat buildup and extending component life under high-demand cycles. For contractors, this motor offers a reliable solution for restoring system integrity and airflow balance in critical cooling equipment.

Key Benefits
  • OEM Compatibility: Guaranteed fit and performance for Trane HVAC units, ensuring seamless drop-in installation.
  • High Torque Efficiency: The 3-phase motor design provides consistent power delivery and reduced energy consumption.
  • Durable Construction: Built via rigorous manufacturing standards to withstand harsh outdoor environments and continuous operation.
  • Precision Performance: Balanced 1100 RPM output maintains optimal refrigerant head pressure through consistent heat exchange.
Common Questions

Is the MOT17981 a direct replacement for single-phase motors?
No, this is a three-phase condenser fan motor and requires a 3-phase power supply. It is not compatible with standard residential 1-phase wiring.

Can this motor be mounted vertically or horizontally?
The MOT17981 is designed with versatile mounting capabilities, though it is frequently specified for vertical condenser fan applications.

What are the wiring requirements for this motor?
Installation requires three-phase 208-230V power. Always verify rotation and wiring diagrams on the motor nameplate before applying power.
