Trane MOT18987 Motor
The Trane MOT18987 is a heavy-duty, single-phase OEM replacement blower motor engineered for high-static pressure applications in Trane and American Standard residential and light commercial air handlers. Operating on 200-230V, this 1/2 HP motor delivers a consistent 1080 RPM, making it a critical component for restoring peak airflow and system efficiency. Built with a 48-frame design and a 5-inch diameter, it features a belly-band mounting configuration for universal fitment across numerous air handler models. This direct drive blower motor replaces legacy part numbers, including MOT13109, ensuring seamless mechanical and electrical integration without the need for field modifications or bracket fabrication. Designed for clockwise (CW) rotation and capable of operating across a wide temperature range, this motor is the preferred choice for technicians seeking to minimize troubleshooting time and maximize cabinet performance.
Key Benefits- Precise OEM Fit: Drop-in replacement for MOT13109, eliminating the need for complex mounting adjustments in the field.
- Optimized Airflow: The 1080 RPM output is calibrated to maintain designated CFM levels across high-resistance ductwork.
- Robust 48-Frame Design: Durable construction ensures heat dissipation during continuous operation in demanding HVAC environments.
- Direct Drive Efficiency: High starting torque facilitates immediate airflow delivery, reducing wear on electrical components.
Is the Trane MOT18987 compatible with 208V systems?
Yes, this motor is rated for 200-230V operation, making it suitable for both standard 230V residential services and 208V commercial supply voltages.
Can this motor be used in a counter-clockwise application?
The Trane MOT18987 is specified for clockwise (CW) rotation. Always verify the lead-end or shaft-end rotation requirement of the existing blower wheel before installation.
What capacitor is required for this 1/2 HP motor?
While capacitor requirements can vary by production run, 1/2 HP 1080 RPM motors typically require a 7.5 MFD or 10 MFD 370V/440V run capacitor; refer to the motor nameplate for the specific rating.
