Genteq 3588 Motor

The Genteq 3588 is a professional-grade 1/2 HP blower motor designed for high-static pressure applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor operates on a 208-230V single-phase power supply at a nominal 1080 RPM. Featuring a 48 frame diameter and an open air over (OAO) enclosure, it ensures optimal heat dissipation during continuous operation. The 3-speed versatility allows for precise airflow tuning, while the reversible rotation capability makes it a versatile stock item for various blower configurations. Built with a 1/2" x 3.50" shaft and reliable sleeve bearings, this direct drive blower motor is engineered for low-vibration performance and a total load of 4.3 amps. Contractors often use the Genteq 3588 as a drop-in replacement for high-efficiency air handlers and furnaces requiring NEMA 48 frame motors.

• Multi-Speed Flexibility: Three distinct speed taps allow for tailored CFM delivery and improved dehumidification cycles.
• Universal Rotation: Simple lead reversal enables both CW and CCW installation, reducing the need for multiple SKUs.
• Thermal Protection: Integrated auto-reset thermal overload protects the windings from overheating during high-static conditions.
• Standardized Mounting: The 48 frame size with 1/2-inch shaft diameter fits most standard 10-inch or 12-inch blower wheels.

Common HVAC Technical Questions

What capacitor is required for the Genteq 3588?
This motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370 VAC run capacitor for proper torque and amperage draw. Always verify the rating on the motor nameplate before installation.

Can this motor replace a 1075 RPM motor?
Yes, the 1080 RPM rating is the technical equivalent for standard 1075 RPM applications, assuming the horsepower and frame size match.

Is this motor suitable for belt-drive applications?
No, the 3588 is a sleeve-bearing motor designed specifically for direct-drive centrifugal blower wheels.
