Lennox 16F20 Motor

The Lennox 16F20 is a heavy-duty 3/4 HP condenser fan motor designed for high-static applications in commercial and residential HVAC systems. Operating at 208-230V and single-phase power, this PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor is engineered to maintain optimal head pressure by ensuring consistent airflow across the condenser coils. As a direct OEM replacement motor, the 16F20 features a standard NEMA 48 frame size, making it a drop-in solution for various Lennox outdoor units. This 1075 RPM motor is built with thermally protected windings and shielded ball bearings to withstand the rigorous duty cycles of summer peak loads. When performing a swap, ensure your run capacitor matches the microfarad rating specified on the nameplate to prevent premature winding failure or overheating during high-ambient operations.

• Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates the need for bracket modifications or shaft cutting, reducing labor time on the job site.
• High Torque Output: The 3/4 HP motor rating provides the necessary torque to drive large-diameter fan blades efficiently.
• Thermal Overload Protection: Integrated internal protection prevents burnout during voltage fluctuations or restricted airflow conditions.
• Multi-Voltage Compatibility: Rated for both 208V and 230V systems, providing flexibility for different site power configurations.
• Weather-Resistant Housing: Designed with an enclosed end shield to protect internal components from moisture and debris.

What capacitor is required for the Lennox 16F20 motor?
This motor typically requires a 10 MFD / 370V or 440V run capacitor. Always verify the specific capacitance requirements printed on the motor label before installation.

Is the 16F20 motor reversible?
Standard Lennox 16F20 units are CCWLE (Counter-Clockwise Lead End), but you should confirm the rotation direction of the existing fan blade to ensure proper airflow direction.

Can I use this motor to replace a 1/2 HP motor?
While a higher horsepower motor can physically drive the load, it is best practice to match the OEM specifications to ensure the system operates within its designed electrical parameters.
