Bard 8106-027 Motor

The Bard 8106-027 is a heavy-duty 1/2 HP condenser fan motor designed for high-static pressure applications in Bard wall-mount heat pumps and air conditioners. Operating at 230V with a fixed speed of 1075 RPM, this split-phase motor features a Clockwise (CW) rotation. It is engineered with a standard NEMA 48 frame and dual-sealed ball bearings to withstand the rigorous duty cycles of exterior HVAC units. When performing a field replacement, ensure the run capacitor (typically 5 MFD or 7.5 MFD @ 370V, verify against unit nameplate) is replaced simultaneously to prevent premature winding failure. This OEM Bard replacement motor ensures direct physical fitment and electrical compatibility, maintaining the engineered CFM requirements for proper refrigerant heat transfer. This motor is commonly found in Bard WH series and WA series units where reliable head pressure control is critical for system longevity.

Technical Specifications and Benefits

• Direct OEM Fit: Ensures seamless integration with Bard wall-mount units without bracket modification.
• 1075 RPM Rated Speed: Matches original fan blade pitch requirements for optimal airflow across the condenser coil.
• 230V Single Phase: Standard electrical configuration for residential and light commercial HVAC motor replacement.
• CW Rotation: Specifically phased for standard Bard fan blade orientations to ensure proper draw-through cooling.
• Thermally Protected: Internal protection prevents motor burnout during high-ambient temperature events or restricted airflow.

Common Questions

What capacitor does the Bard 8106-027 require?
Most 1/2 HP 1075 RPM motors in this class utilize a 5 MFD or 7.5 MFD 370V capacitor; however, always check the label on the physical 8106-027 motor to ensure the correct microfarad rating is used for startup.

Can I use this motor if my original was CCW?
No, this motor is fixed at Clockwise (CW) rotation. Utilizing the wrong rotation will result in incorrect airflow direction, causing high head pressure and potential compressor damage.

Is this compatible with Bard WH361 and WA361 models?
Yes, the Bard 8106-027 is the designated condenser motor for several 3-ton wall-mount platforms. Cross-reference your specific serial number with the parts list to confirm compatibility.
