Trane MOT6800 Motor

The Trane MOT6800 is an industrial-grade, three-phase HVAC condenser fan motor engineered for high-static applications in commercial rooftop units and chillers. Operating at 1.5 HP with a design speed of 1140 RPM, this motor provides the necessary torque for heavy-duty air movement while maintaining thermal efficiency. Built with a NEMA 56Y frame and durable ball bearings, the MOT6800 is a versatile OEM replacement motor compatible with 200-230/460V power supplies. Its open drip-proof (ODP) enclosure ensures optimal cooling during continuous operation in demanding environments. When sourcing a Trane motor replacement, professional contractors prioritize the MOT6800 for its precise shaft dimensions and electrical specifications, ensuring a drop-in fit that minimizes field labor. This multi-voltage 1.5 HP motor is specifically tuned for the airflow requirements of large-scale refrigerant circuits, maintaining system head pressure within design limits even during peak ambient loads.

Key Benefits

• Broad Voltage Compatibility: Supports 200-230V and 460V three-phase configurations, reducing the need for multiple truck stock variants.
• Optimized RPM for Airflow: The 1140 RPM rating is specifically matched for condenser fan blades to provide maximum CFM without exceeding noise thresholds.
• Industrial Build Quality: Features high-grade insulation and robust bearing assemblies to handle the radial loads of heavy-duty fan assemblies.
• Reduced Downtime: Authentic Trane components ensure electrical lead positions and mounting patterns match existing housing for fast installation.

Common Questions

What are the wiring requirements for swapping from 230V to 460V?
The MOT6800 utilizes a standard dual-voltage lead configuration. Always reference the nameplate wiring diagram to ensure the internal windings are properly jumped for your specific line voltage to prevent winding failure.

Can this motor be used with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)?
This motor is designed for constant speed operation. If your application requires modulation, verify the insulation class and grounding requirements for inverter duty to avoid premature bearing fluting.

Does this motor include the mounting hardware or fan blade?
The MOT6800 is the motor only. Ensure you inspect the existing fan hub and belly band for wear before reinstallation; a seized hub often requires a puller or replacement blade to complete the repair.
