Carrier HC40GR241 Motor

The Carrier HC40GR241 Motor is a critical OEM replacement condenser fan motor designed for high-performance Carrier, Bryant, and Payne condensing units. Operating at 1/4 HP and 208-230V, this 48 frame motor runs at a precise 825 RPM, which is essential for maintaining the engineered static pressure and airflow across the condenser coils. As a single-phase motor with clockwise (CW) rotation (lead end), it serves as the direct replacement for 1184599, ensuring a drop-in fit without the need for mounting modifications or bracket adjustments. For technicians troubleshooting high head pressure or fan failure, using this genuine Carrier fan motor ensures the system operates within original factory parameters, protecting the compressor and maximizing heat transfer efficiency in residential and light commercial applications.

Technical Benefits for Contractors

• Sleeve Bearing Design: Optimized for vertical shaft-up or shaft-down applications common in outdoor condensing units.
• TEAO Enclosure: Totally Enclosed Air Over housing protects internal windings from environmental debris and moisture.
• Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC): Provides efficient operation and reliable starting torque under high ambient temperatures.
• 48FR Compatibility: Standardized frame size ensures compatibility with existing fan blades and motor mounts.

Common Questions

What capacitor is required for the HC40GR241?
This motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor. Always check the motor nameplate to confirm the specific microfarad rating before installation.

Can this motor replace a 1075 RPM condenser motor?
No. Dropping the RPM from 1075 to 825 will significantly reduce airflow, leading to increased head pressure and potential compressor failure. Always match the 825 RPM specification exactly.

Is the rotation reversible on this OEM motor?
The HC40GR241 is factory-set for CW rotation. For units requiring CCW rotation, verify the specific part number requirements to ensure proper directional airflow.
