Trane MOT4518 Motor
The Trane MOT4518 motor is a purpose-built, direct drive blower motor designed for high-static air handling applications in commercial and residential HVACR environments. This 1/3 HP motor operates on a 277V single-phase power supply, making it a critical component for systems utilizing higher line voltages. Engineered with a 48 frame, it features a 3-speed configuration (1075 RPM base) to allow for precise airflow balancing and staging, ensuring optimal heat exchange across the evaporator or heat strip assembly.
For technicians performing a field HVAC blower motor replacement, the Trane MOT4518 offers a standard Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure to facilitate efficient cooling of the motor windings during continuous operation. This PSC motor (Permanent Split Capacitor) requires a dedicated run capacitor (ensure you verify the MFD rating on the nameplate, typically 5-10 MFD) to maintain correct torque and rotation. Its multi-speed taps provide the versatility needed to match 277V cabinet specifications, providing a reliable solution for maintaining system static pressure and consistent CFM delivery.
Key Benefits for HVACR Contractors:- Voltage Specific: Correct 277V motor configuration for high-voltage commercial air handlers.
- Multi-Speed Flexibility: Features 3-speed taps for customized airflow adjustment and seasonal balancing.
- NEMA 48 Frame: Standardized 48 frame motor sizing ensures compatibility with existing mounting brackets and belly bands.
- Resilient Design: High-efficiency windings designed for long-cycle reliability in indoor blower assemblies.
What is the proper rotation for the MOT4518?
Standard rotation is typically counter-clockwise lead end (CCWLE), though you should always verify the rotation of the existing blower wheel before securing the mounting bolts.
Does this motor include a new run capacitor?
Capacitors are generally sold separately. We recommend installing a new 370V/440V rated capacitor with the correct microfarad (MFD) rating whenever replacing a PSC blower motor to prevent premature winding failure.
Can I use this motor in a 208V or 240V system?
No. Using a 277V HVAC motor on lower voltage will result in insufficient torque and overheating, leading to motor burnout. Always match nameplate voltage to the power supply.
