Trane MOT18968 Motor
The Trane MOT18968 Motor is a high-performance, genuine OEM replacement part designed for precision airflow in specialized HVAC systems. This 1/4 HP blower motor operates within a 200-230V range at 1080 RPM, ensuring it meets the exact torque and speed requirements of the original equipment. Built on a NEMA 48 frame, this motor is a direct drop-in for technicians servicing Trane and American Standard residential or light commercial packaged units and air handlers. Its two-speed capability allows for efficient staging, maintaining system static pressure and optimizing indoor air quality. For contractors replacing an older MOT04403, note that a belly band mounting kit (KIT01052) is required for a secure fit. This 1080 RPM motor is engineered for a 60Hz single-phase power supply, providing the reliability required for high-cycle applications where maintaining factory-spec CFM is non-negotiable.
Key Benefits
- Direct OEM Compatibility: This Trane replacement motor eliminates the mounting and wiring headaches often associated with universal motors.
- Precision Speed Control: The 1080 RPM 48 frame motor design supports efficient heat transfer by ensuring consistent airflow across the evaporator or condenser coil.
- Optimized Performance: Specifically tuned for 200-230V systems to prevent over-amping and premature component failure.
- Easy Retrofit: Standard 48-frame sizing ensures compatibility with existing direct drive blower motor housings in Trane equipment.
Common Questions
Can I use this to replace a MOT04403 model?
Yes, the Trane MOT18968 is the primary replacement for the MOT04403, but you will need to utilize the KIT01052 belly band adapter for proper mounting.
Is this motor compatible with 208V systems?
Yes, this 1/4 HP HVAC motor is rated for a 200-230V range, making it fully functional on standard 208/230V single-phase power supplies.
Does this motor support variable speed?
No, this is a fixed two-speed PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor, not an ECM. It is intended for systems designed for discrete speed taps.
