Daikin-McQuay 060961801 Motor

This Daikin-McQuay 060961801 Motor is a high-reliability 1/3 HP blower motor engineered for precise air handling in commercial HVAC equipment. Operating on 208-230V single-phase power, this PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor features a dual-speed configuration at 1100 RPM, allowing for optimized airflow control in air handlers and furnaces. As a direct OEM replacement motor, the 060961801 ensures drop-in compatibility and maintains the factory-specified performance standards of McQuay and Daikin systems. The robust 6-pole design and rolled steel construction provide the thermal stability required for continuous operation in demanding mechanical rooms. Technicians should note that this unit replaces previous models 060857401 and 60857401, making it a versatile HVAC ventilation motor for older legacy units. To ensure long-term reliability and protect the internal windings, proper capacitor matching and lead insulation are critical during the field installation of this 2-speed motor.

• Direct OEM Integration: Specifically designed to replace McQuay 060857401 and 60961801 for a perfect mechanical fit.
• Multi-Speed Flexibility: Features 2-speed operation (1100/900 RPM) to meet various air volume requirements.
• Broad Compatibility: Operates efficiently across the 208-230V AC range, suitable for most commercial power supplies.
• Durable Construction: Built with a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) design for improved efficiency and longevity.
• High-Performance Output: Delivers 1/3 HP of dedicated power for consistent air circulation in HVAC blowers.

Common Questions

This motor is primarily utilized as a fan and blower motor within Daikin and McQuay air handling units (AHUs), PTAC units, and various light commercial furnace applications requiring a 1/3 HP single-phase motor.

In most HVACR motor replacements, the capacitor is sold separately. It is a best practice for contractors to install a new capacitor alongside this OEM replacement motor to prevent premature failure caused by aged electrical components.

Installation must follow the specific wiring diagram provided. Standard for this 6-pole 2nd speed motor, incorrect lead connections can lead to reversed rotation, which may damage the blower wheel or the motor itself.
