Rheem-Ruud 51-42534-02 Motor

The Rheem-Ruud 51-42534-02 is a professional-grade 1/3 HP condenser fan motor engineered for high-static applications in commercial and residential HVAC systems. Operating at 1075 RPM, this single-speed permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor is designed for multi-tap voltage configurations, including 380-415V and 460V single-phase power supplies. Built on a NEMA 48 frame, it features a totally enclosed (TEAO) construction to protect internal windings from moisture and debris, making it ideal for outdoor condenser environments. The ball bearing system ensures long-term reliability and allows for all-angle mounting, while the 1/2" x 4 1/2" shaft and CCW rotation (lead end) provide precise compatibility with OEM fan blades. This OEM replacement motor utilizes a shell-band mount for secure installation within the cabinet, drawing only 1.0 Amp for efficient thermal heat dissipation during continuous duty cycles.

• Multi-Voltage Compatibility: Supports 380V, 415V, and 460V AC inputs for versatile field application.
• Industrial Durability: Features a totally enclosed housing and ball bearings to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
• OEM Precision: Direct 48-frame replacement ensures proper alignment and airflow across the condenser coils.
• Efficient Performance: Low-amp draw PSC design optimizes energy consumption while maintaining 1075 RPM torque.

Common Questions

Is the 51-42534-02 compatible with my Rheem or Ruud condenser?
This motor is a standard OEM replacement for specific 460V high-voltage units. Check your existing motor's data plate for the part number or NEMA frame size and shaft dimensions to ensure a proper fit.

What capacitor is required for this 1/3 HP motor?
As a Permanent Split Capacitor motor, it requires a specific MFD/VAC rated capacitor (typically indicated on the motor label) to ensure proper starting torque and amp draw.

Can this motor be used in 208-230V applications?
No, this model is specifically wound for 380-415/460V power. Using this motor on lower voltage will result in failure; verify your line voltage before installation.
