Century Motors FE1038SF Motor

The Century Motors FE1038SF is a high-performance HeatMaster condenser fan motor engineered for demanding HVACR applications. Operating at 1/3 HP and 825 RPM, this Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor is a direct replacement for HC41VL651 and Century FSE1038SF. Built with a NEMA 48 frame and totally enclosed air over (TEAO) design, it provides superior protection against environmental contaminants in outdoor condensing units. The motor features Class F insulation and is rated for a 70°C ambient temperature, ensuring stable operation during peak thermal loads. Professionals will appreciate the all-angle ball bearing system and reversible rotation capability, which simplify field installations across multiple equipment brands. This 208-230V single-phase motor requires a 7.5 MFD / 370V capacitor for proper startup and efficiency. With a 1/2 inch x 6 1/2 inch shaft featuring a double flat, it offers a secure fit for standard fan blades, making it a reliable choice for condenser motor replacement in residential and light commercial systems.

• Extreme Heat Tolerance: Rated for 70°C (158°F) ambient temperatures, reducing the risk of thermal cutout during summer peaks.
• Broad Compatibility: Serves as a drop-in replacement for HC41VL651 and various A.O. Smith, Fasco, and GE models.
• Flexible Mounting: Features extended thru-bolts, mounting holes in shell, and supports belly band or stud mounting.
• Reversible Rotation: Easy CW/CCW rotation adjustment via a simple reversing plug to match original blower specifications.
• Durability: Totally Enclosed (TEAO) housing and ball bearings extend service life in high-moisture and dusty environments.

What capacitor is required for the FE1038SF?
