Trane MOT18905 Motor

Trane MOT18905 Motor

The Trane MOT18905 Motor is a high-performance 1/6 HP OEM replacement condenser fan motor designed for precision airflow and reliability in demanding HVACR applications. This PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor operates at 200-230V and maintains a consistent 1100 RPM to ensure optimal heat dissipation from the condenser coil. Engineered for a 48-frame configuration, it features a totally enclosed air-over (TEAO) housing to protect internal components from environmental debris and moisture, ensuring steady operation in rooftop or ground-level condenser units.

For technicians in the field, this single-speed motor offers a CCW (Counter-Clockwise) rotation (lead end) and utilizes a 1/2-inch diameter shaft with a length of approximately 3 inches, making it a drop-in match for specific Trane and American Standard units. To achieve peak electrical efficiency and starting torque, a 5 MFD at 370V capacitor is typically required (check the motor nameplate for field verification). The sleeve bearing design provides quiet operation, while the belly band mounting compatibility ensures it fits standard brackets without unnecessary modifications.

  • OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for Trane MOT18905, eliminating the need for complex mounting adjustments.
  • TEAO Enclosure: Totally enclosed air-over design prevents particulates from entering the motor, crucial for outdoor condenser longevity.
  • Efficient Cooling: High-torque 1/6 HP output at 1100 RPM facilitates maximum BTU rejection across the coils.
  • Standardized Specs: Operates on standard 208-230V single-phase power at 60Hz.

Common Questions

Does this motor require a specific capacitor?
Yes, as a Permanent Split Capacitor motor, it requires a 5 MFD 370V run capacitor to maintain proper phase shift and operational efficiency. Always verify the capacitance requirement on the motor label before installation.

Is the rotation direction reversible?
The Trane MOT18905 is factory-set for CCW (Counter-Clockwise) rotation when viewed from the lead end. Ensure your fan blade pitch is compatible with this rotation to prevent airflow reversal.

What mounting kits are compatible with this frame?
This 48-frame motor is designed for belly band mounting, making it compatible with most universal mounting brackets if the original OEM bracket is not reused.
