Trane MOT18705 Motor
The Trane MOT18705 is a high-performance 1/2 HP condenser fan motor engineered specifically for technical compatibility with Trane and American Standard HVAC units. Operating at 208-230V and a nominal 1100 RPM, this single-phase 48-frame motor provides the necessary torque for demanding heat pump and air conditioning applications. It features a permanent split capacitor (PSC) design, requiring a 7.5 MFD/370V capacitor (sold separately) for optimal efficiency and start-up performance. The TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air Over) enclosure ensures the internal windings remain protected from environmental debris while relying on the system's airflow for cooling. Contractors should verify the CWLE or CCWLE rotation and shaft dimensions to ensure a precise drop-in replacement. Using an OEM Trane motor maintains the original performance specifications of the equipment and prevents premature bearing failure often associated with generic multi-tap alternatives.
Technical Specifications:
- Direct OEM Replacement: Ensures electrical and physical fit for Trane MOT18705 installations.
- Efficient Thermal Management: Designed with Class B insulation to withstand high ambient temperatures in condenser sections.
- Standard 48 Frame: Facilitates easy mounting with standard belly-band or stud-mount configurations.
- Consistent RPM: Maintains 1100 RPM airflow across the coil for optimized heat transfer and head pressure control.
Common Installation Inquiries:
What is the required capacitor for the MOT18705?
This motor typically requires a 7.5 MFD 370V run capacitor. Always check the nameplate on the specific motor received to confirm the capacitance rating before wiring.
Can I use this to replace a different horsepower motor?
It is critical to match the 1/2 HP rating and 1100 RPM exactly. Downsizing or upsizing horsepower can lead to motor overheating or improper refrigerant pressures.
Is this motor reversible?
The MOT18705 is designed for a specific rotation. Verify your existing fan blade pitch and rotation direction (Lead End) to ensure compatibility with this fixed-rotation motor.
