Carrier HC35GE461 Motor
The Carrier HC35GE461 Motor is a high-performance 1/8 HP condenser fan motor engineered for demanding outdoor HVAC environments. This Genteq 5KCP39HFS245BS replacement operates on a 400/460V single-phase power supply at a constant 825 RPM, making it the standard choice for maintaining critical airflow across condenser coils in Carrier, Bryant, and Payne systems. Built with a 48 frame and a 1/2-inch diameter by 2-inch long flat shaft, this motor ensures a precise fit for existing fan blades and mounting brackets.
Designed for continuous air over duty, the HC35GE461 features thermal protection and Class B insulation to withstand the high ambient temperatures of rooftop and ground-level units. Technicians should note the CW rotation (clockwise) and the requirement for a 5 MFD at 370 VAC capacitor to ensure proper starting torque and efficiency. Replacing this OEM Carrier motor restores factory-spec heat exchange capacity and prevents the system from tripping high-pressure switches during peak cooling loads.
Key Benefits- OEM Compatibility: Direct drop-in replacement for Carrier HC35GE461 and Genteq 5KCP39HFS245BS, eliminating the need for field modifications.
- Dual-Voltage Versatility: Optimized for both 400V and 460V industrial and commercial power configurations.
- Reliable Cooling: 825 RPM operation provides the specific CFM required for high-efficiency condenser heat rejection.
- Robust Protection: Internal thermal overload protection prevents winding failure during restricted airflow or high-ambient conditions.
Is this a direct replacement for 460V condenser fans?
Yes, this is a 460V 1/8 HP motor designed specifically for Carrier-family 460-volt condensing units. Always verify the RPM matches your existing motor plate to ensure proper fan blade pitch compatibility.
Does this motor include the run capacitor?
No, the Carrier HC35GE461 requires a 5 MFD / 370V capacitor, which must be purchased separately. Installing a new capacitor is recommended to prevent premature motor fatigue.
What is the direction of rotation?
This motor is rated for Clockwise (CW) rotation when viewed from the lead end/back of the motor. Ensure your fan blade is pitched for a CW lead-end rotation before installation.
