• Multi-Speed Versatility: Features 3-speed taps (High, Medium, Low) to accommodate varied ductwork configurations and airflow demands.
• Enhanced Thermal Protection: Integrated internal overload protection prevents winding failure during high-amperage events or restricted airflow conditions.
• Standardized Frame Size: The 48-frame diameter ensures compatibility with standard Bard belly band mounts and housing assemblies.

Is the 8106-038BX a direct replacement for the older 8106-038 model?
Yes, the 8106-038BX is the current manufacturer-designated replacement, maintaining identical electrical specs and physical dimensions for a seamless swap.

What capacitor is required for this Bard blower motor?
This motor requires a specific run capacitor (typically 5 MFD or 7.5 MFD at 370V) as specified on the motor nameplate; always verify the rating before energizing the circuit.

Can this motor be used in 460V applications?
No, this motor is rated strictly for 208-230V single-phase operation. Attempting to wire this to a higher voltage source will result in immediate winding failure.
