Century Motors FEH1056D Motor

The Century Motors FEH1056D is a high-performance 1/2 HP condenser fan motor designed for demanding outdoor HVACR applications. Operating at a nominal 1075 RPM with a single-speed configuration, this PSC motor provides reliable air-over performance across multi-voltage secondary systems, supporting 208-230/460 VAC single-phase inputs. Built on a standard 48Y Nema frame, it features a 5-5/8 inch diameter body and a 1/2 inch x 6 inch shaft with double flats for secure blower wheel or fan blade attachment. The totally enclosed air over (TEAO) design, paired with high-grade ball bearings, ensures resilience against environmental debris and moisture, making it a staple for commercial and residential condenser units. With reversible rotation capabilities and automatic thermal protection, this motor offers the versatility required for field replacements where matching original equipment manufacturer specifications is critical.

Key Benefits:

• Multi-Voltage Versatility: Supports 208-230V and 460V applications, reducing the need for multiple truck-stock SKUs.
• All-Angle Mounting: Engineered with ball bearings and extended studs for flexible installation in shaft-up, shaft-down, or horizontal positions.
• Enhanced Durability: The TEAO enclosure protects internal windings from dust and humidity, extending the service life in harsh outdoor conditions.
• Simplified Field Reversal: Features a standard reversing plug to quickly match the required CW/CCW rotation on-site.

Common Questions:

What capacitor is required for the Century FEH1056D?
This motor requires a 10 MFD / 370 VAC run capacitor (sold separately) for proper startup and torque efficiency.

Can this motor replace a Dayton 4MA46 or A.O. Smith F48U84A01?
Yes, the FEH1056D is a common cross-reference for the Dayton 4MA46 and 4M228, as well as the A.O. Smith F48U84A01, provided the frame size and shaft dimensions match your application.

Is the FEH1056D suitable for heat pump duty?
This motor is rated for a 60°C maximum ambient temperature, making it suitable for condenser fan and heat pump applications where high heat exposure is expected.
