Trane MOT18646 Motor
The Trane MOT18646 Motor is a high-performance three-phase condenser fan motor engineered for precision and durability in commercial and industrial HVACR systems. Operating at 208-230V and a sustained 1100 RPM, this 0.7 HP HVAC motor provides the necessary torque for demanding air-side applications, including heat pumps and rooftop units. As a genuine Trane OEM replacement part, it ensures direct electrical and mechanical compatibility, eliminating the guesswork associated with universal aftermarket motors. Featuring a TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air Over) enclosure, it is designed for continuous duty within the airstream, maintaining optimal thermal management. For technicians, the MOT18646 is the standard for restoring factory-spec airflow and efficiency in Trane and American Standard equipment. Its robust internal construction and 3-phase design offer superior balance and reduced vibration compared to single-phase alternatives, ensuring critical system components maintain stable head pressures during extreme ambient conditions.
Key Benefits
- Industrial-Grade Efficiency: The 3-phase electric motor design provides consistent power delivery and higher operational efficiency for commercial cooling cycles.
- Optimized RPM Profile: A fixed 1100 RPM speed provides the specific CFM ratings required to maintain heat transfer across the condenser coil.
- Rugged TEAO Enclosure: Engineered for outdoor condenser fan motor applications, protecting internal windings from moisture and debris within the airstream.
- Drop-in OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed as a Trane replacement motor to match existing mounting footprints and wiring harnesses for faster turnarounds.
Common Questions
Is the MOT18646 compatible with single-phase residential units?
No, this is a 208-230V 3-phase motor. Attempting to install this on a single-phase power supply without a VFD or phase converter will lead to immediate failure and is not recommended.
Can I use a capacitor with this Trane motor?
Unlike PSC motors, this three-phase HVAC motor does not require a start or run capacitor, simplifying the electrical troubleshooting process and reducing potential failure points in the cabinet.
What is the typical application for this specific horsepower rating?
The 0.7 HP rating and 1100 RPM output are typically found in 5-20 ton commercial package units and split systems where high-static condenser airflow is critical for system performance.
