Carrier HC41GE231 Motor

As a seasoned technician, you know that a failed condenser motor in the peak of the season is a non-starter. The Carrier HC41GE231 Motor is a direct OEM-spec 1/3 HP Condenser Fan Motor engineered for high-demand cooling cycles. Operating at 208/230V and a nominal 1075 RPM, this PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor is a standard 48 Frame (5-5/8 inch diameter) powerhouse that ensures precise airflow across the condenser coils for optimal heat rejection.

This single-phase unit features automatic reset thermal overload protection to prevent winding failure during high-ambient operation. If you are replacing an older HC39VE211 or P251-5316, this motor provides the exact mechanical footprint and electrical characteristics needed for a drop-in fit. The dual-speed capability and CW rotation (clockwise) make it compatible with a wide range of Carrier, Bryant, and Payne residential and light commercial condensing units. When pulling a vacuum and prepping for a swap, ensure you have a fresh 10 MFD 370V capacitor on hand to maintain peak torque and efficiency.

• OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for Carrier HC41GE231, Bryant, and Payne units, eliminating the need for mounting bracket modifications.
• Industrial-Grade Build: Designed with a NEMA 48 frame and heavy-duty sleeve bearings for continuous (S1) duty cycles.
• Thermal Protection: Integrated automatic reset thermal overload safeguards the motor against voltage fluctuations and excessive heat.
• Efficient Performance: Drawing 1.9 Full Load Amps (FLA), it balances high-torque output with lower energy consumption.

What capacitor does the HC41GE231 motor require?
This motor is designed to run with a 10 MFD / 370 Volt capacitor. We recommend replacing the capacitor whenever you install a new motor to ensure long-term reliability.

Can this motor replace a 1120 RPM or 825 RPM unit?
The HC41GE231 is rated for 1075/1120 RPM operation. It is an ideal match for original specs in that range, but should not be used to replace low-speed 825 RPM motors as it will change the static pressure and fan blade performance.

Is the rotation reversible on this model?
No, this specific model is set for CW (Clockwise) Lead End rotation. Always verify the rotation of the existing fan blade before installation to ensure proper airflow direction.
