Trane MOT18706 Motor

The Trane MOT18706 is a heavy-duty, single-phase condenser fan motor designed to provide consistent airflow in high-demand residential and light commercial applications. This direct replacement for MOT8250 (and obsolete X70671594017) features a 1/2 HP output and operates at a precise 1075 RPM, ensuring it meets the exact torque and static pressure requirements of the original equipment. Built with a 48Y frame size and an Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure, this 230V HVAC motor is engineered for vertical or horizontal mounting in various Trane and American Standard outdoor units. For technicians performing field service, this OEM Trane replacement motor eliminates the mounting and electrical issues often encountered with "universal" alternatives. If you are replacing an older 1080 RPM variant, the MOT18706 provides a seamless drop-in fit for systems like the TCC, TCH, and DCY series. Proper HVAC part compatibility is essential for maintaining system efficiency and avoiding premature compressor failure due to inadequate heat exchange.

• Verified Compatibility: Serving as the direct replacement for MOT8250, this motor ensures the electrical leads and shaft dimensions align with factory specifications.
• Optimized Performance: The 1075 RPM speed is calibrated to maintain the designated CFM across the condenser coil, preventing high-head pressure issues.
• Rugged Design: Features a durable 48Y frame and ODP enclosure to withstand outdoor environmental cycles.
• Simplified Installation: As a genuine Trane MOT18706 motor, it uses standard 230V wiring configurations familiar to service contractors.

Is the MOT18706 compatible with 208V systems?
Yes, while labeled as 230V, this motor is rated for 208-230V single-phase operation, making it suitable for standard residential power grids.

What capacitor is required for this motor?
Most applications utilizing this 1/2 HP motor require a 10 MFD / 370V run capacitor. Always check the motor nameplate and the existing system schematic to verify the correct capacitance before commissioning.

Can I use this to replace a MOT08250?
Absolutely. The Trane MOT18706 is the official superseding part number for the MOT8250, sharing the same 1/2 HP rating and mechanical footprint.
