Century Motors BL6530A Motor

The Century Motors BL6530A Motor is a high-performance 1/3 HP induction motor designed for direct-drive fan and blower applications. Operating at 115V single-phase power, this unit is built on a 42-frame chassis, providing a compact footprint for tight plenum spaces in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This multi-speed motor features 3-speed taps at 1075 RPM, allowing technicians to fine-tune airflow requirements. The BL6530A serves as a direct technical cross-reference for the BL6530, utilizing a 1/2-inch diameter shaft and drawing 6.3 Amps at full load. This Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor incorporates a sleeve bearing design for quiet operation and thermal overload protection to prevent winding failure during high-static conditions. As a Regal Rexnord Century Motors OEM-grade component, it ensures a drop-in fit for contractors maintaining air handlers, furnaces, and industrial ventilation equipment.
