Trane MOT18985 Motor
The Trane MOT18985 Motor is a high-performance 460V single-phase condenser fan motor engineered for specific commercial HVAC applications. Operating at 1/2 HP with a rated speed of 850 RPM, this totally enclosed air over (TEAO) motor provides the necessary torque for heavy-duty airflow requirements while maintaining thermal stability. Designed as a direct OEM replacement motor, it ensures precise mechanical alignment and electrical compatibility within Trane and American Standard rooftop units or split systems. The 48-frame design utilizes high-grade ball bearings to minimize friction and extend service life under continuous operation. This HVAC blower motor features a reversible rotation capability and a standard shaft diameter, allowing for seamless integration with existing fan blades during field service repairs.
Key Benefits
- Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates mounting issues and reduces installation time for commercial condenser fan motor replacements.
- Industrial Voltage Rating: Optimized for 460V/60Hz circuits, ensuring efficient electrical performance in professional HVACR environments.
- Low-Speed High-Torque: The 850 RPM design is specifically tuned for optimal static pressure handling and reduced noise levels.
- Resilient Construction: Built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, protecting internal windings from moisture and debris.
Common Questions
What capacitor is required for the MOT18985?
This motor typically requires a 10 MFD / 370V run capacitor; always verify the rating on the nameplate before energizing the circuit.
Is this motor compatible with variable frequency drives?
The MOT18985 is designed for single-speed operation at 460V; check the unit wiring diagram for specific control compatibility.
Can this replace a motor with a different RPM rating?
It is critical to match the 850 RPM specification to prevent over-amping the motor or causing fan blade failure due to incorrect tip speed.
