Carrier HC46TQ113 Motor

The Carrier HC46TQ113 Motor is an essential OEM replacement blower motor designed for high-demand airflow applications in residential and light commercial HVACR systems. This 3/4 HP motor operates on 115V single-phase power at a synchronous speed of 1075 RPM. As a 48-frame motor, it provides standard mounting compatibility across a variety of furnace and air handler cabinets. Built for versatility, this unit features a 3-speed winding configuration, allowing technicians to fine-tune CFM delivery to match specific static pressure requirements of the ductwork. The HC46TQ113 utilizes counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation (viewed from the lead end) and is the direct factory-authorized replacement for legacy models HC45TE113 and HB46TR113. Its Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure ensures effective heat dissipation during continuous operation while protecting internal components from falling moisture. Designed for continuous air over (CAO) duty, this motor maintains thermal stability under load, ensuring reliable performance within Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment series.

• Direct OEM Fit: Engineered as the precise replacement for HC45TE113 and HB46TR113, eliminating the need for mounting bracket modifications.
• Multi-Speed Flexibility: Features 3-speeds to optimize system performance and efficiency across different heating and cooling cycles.
• Industrial Build Quality: Standard 48FR (48Y) design with 1/2-inch shaft diameter for seamless integration with existing blower wheels.
• Thermal Protection: Includes internal thermal sensing to prevent winding failure during high-amperage or restricted airflow conditions.

Common Questions

What capacitor is required for the HC46TQ113?
This 3/4 HP 115V motor typically requires a 10 MFD / 370V or 440V run capacitor (sold separately) to maintain proper torque and efficiency. Always verify the rating on the motor nameplate during installation.

Can this motor replace a single-speed blower motor?
Yes, provided the frame size (48FR), voltage, and rotation (CCW) match. You can utilize the high-speed lead for single-speed applications or wire multiple speeds if the control board supports it.

Is this a permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor?
Yes, the Carrier HC46TQ113 is a PSC blower motor, known for its balance of reliability and performance in traditional HVACR air handlers.
