Lennox 65G59 Motor
The Lennox 65G59 is a high-performance 1/3 HP 230V 825 RPM blower motor engineered for precision performance in residential and light commercial HVAC air handler applications. This PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor features a 48Y frame and 3-speed capabilities, allowing for tailored airflow adjustment to meet specific static pressure requirements. As a direct-drive unit, the Lennox 65G5901 equivalent ensures efficient energy transfer and quiet operation compared to standard aftermarket alternatives.
Operating on a single phase, 60 Hz power supply, this motor is designed with an open air over (OAO) enclosure to facilitate optimal cooling during continuous duty cycles. It utilizes a 15 MFD at 370 VAC capacitor (sold separately) to maintain high torque and stable rotational speeds. For contractors replacing legacy components, this motor provides a direct OEM fit, minimizing modification time in the field. Its robust construction and thermal protection safeguard against overheating, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding fan and blower assemblies.
