Century Motors FDL6002 Motor

The Century Motors FDL6002 is a professional-grade direct drive blower motor engineered for high-demand HVACR applications. Operating at 115V with a 3/4 HP output (capable of multi-horsepower performance down to 1/5 HP), this 48 frame motor delivers a consistent 1075 RPM. As a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor, it requires a 10 Mfd/370V capacitor for optimal torque and efficiency during start-up. Designed with ball bearings and an Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure, this unit is built for continuous duty air over operation in 40°C ambient temperatures. It features reversible rotation and automatic thermal overload protection, ensuring it handles varying load conditions safely. For technicians performing field replacements, the FDL6002 motor serves as a direct drop-in for the 2970A3249 and is compatible with various mounting configurations, including resilient ring, extended studs, or belly band mounts, making it a versatile staple for furnace and air handler maintenance.

• Direct Cross-Reference Compatibility: Specifically designed as an exact replacement for the 2970A3249, reducing field modification time.
• Extended Component Life: Equipped with dual ball bearings and Class B insulation to withstand the thermal stress of continuous duty cycles.
• Versatile Mounting Options: Supports resilient ring, through-bolt, and shell-hole mounting, including specific Rheem mounting holes.
• Precision Speed Control: The 4-speed design allows for fine-tuning airflow across different HVAC blower motor applications.
• Standardized 48 Frame: Features a 5-5/8 inch diameter and a 1/2 inch motor shaft with a flat, ensuring compatibility with standard blower wheels.

What capacitor is required for the Century FDL6002?
This 115Vac motor requires a 10 microfarad (Mfd) 370V run capacitor. Note that the capacitor is typically sold separately and is essential for the PSC motor to reach its rated 1075 RPM.

Is the rotation reversible on this blower motor?
Yes, the Century FDL6002 features reversible rotation. Technicians can easily swap the lead connections to match the clockwise or counter-clockwise requirements of the existing blower housing.

Can this motor replace a lower horsepower unit?
Because the FDL6002 is a multi-horsepower 3/4 HP motor, it can effectively replace 1/2 HP, 1/3 HP, 1/4 HP, or 1/5 HP motors, provided the voltage and frame size match.
