Trane MOT18686 Motor
The Trane MOT18686 Motor is a high-efficiency PSC condenser fan motor engineered for heavy-duty HVAC applications. Operating at 1/6 HP with a 460V single-phase input, this 825 RPM HVAC motor is designed for precise thermal management in commercial systems. It features a 48-frame diameter and a single-speed configuration, ensuring stable torque and consistent airflow. Built to handle high-static pressure environments, this OEM Trane replacement motor integrates seamlessly with existing fan blades and mounting brackets, reducing vibration and mechanical wear. For contractors performing a Trane motor replacement, the MOT18686 provides the necessary electrical specifications to match factory performance while maintaining system static balance. This 460 volt fan motor is a critical component for maintaining head pressure during extreme ambient conditions, offering reliable operation in demanding duty cycles without the performance degradation common in generic aftermarket alternatives.
Key Benefits
- High-Voltage Stability: Built specifically for 460V 1-phase systems, ensuring electrical compatibility without secondary transformers.
- Optimized RPM: The 825 RPM speed profile is tuned for higher torque applications, improving heat transfer across the condenser coils.
- Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates the need for field modifications, reducing labor time during HVAC motor troubleshooting and installation.
- PSC Efficiency: Permanent Split Capacitor design offers improved power factor and lower amperage draw compared to standard shaded-pole motors.
Common Questions
What is the frame size and shaft dimension for the MOT18686?
This motor utilizes a standard NEMA 48 frame with a 1/2-inch diameter shaft, common in Trane and American Standard rooftop units and commercial split systems.
Does this motor require a specific run capacitor?
Yes, as a PSC motor, it must be paired with the MFD rating specified on the nameplate to ensure proper starting torque and to prevent winding overheating.
Can this motor be used in 230V applications?
No, the MOT18686 is rated strictly for 460V. Applying lower voltage will result in motor failure and potential damage to the system's electrical contactors.
