Genteq/Fasco 3728 Motor

The Genteq 3728 is a high-efficiency condenser fan motor designed for demanding HVAC applications requiring a 1/4 HP output at 1080 RPM. This Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor operates on 208-230V single-phase power and draws 1.80 amps, making it an ideal drop-in replacement for numerous residential and light commercial condensing units. Built with a NEMA 48 frame and a totally enclosed (TEAO) housing, it provides superior protection against environmental debris and moisture, ensuring long-term reliability in outdoor settings. The 1/2" x 5.50" shaft features a flat for secure blower wheel or fan blade attachment, and the reversible rotation capability allows for field flexibility when matching OEM airflow requirements.

• Universal Compatibility: The reversible rotation and standard NEMA 48 frame dimensions allow this motor to replace a wide variety of OEM condenser motors.
• Efficient Performance: Operates at 1080 RPM with a 1.80 amp draw, optimizing airflow while maintaining low power consumption.
• Durable Construction: Features sleeve bearings and a closed enclosure design to prevent internal contamination in high-static environments.
• Installation Flexibility: Equipped with a 5.5-inch long shaft to accommodate various fan blade depths and hub configurations.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

What capacitor is required for the Genteq 3728?
This 1/4 HP condenser motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor. Always verify the rating on the motor nameplate before energizing the circuit.

Can this motor be mounted in any orientation?
The sleeve bearing design is optimized for shaft-up or shaft-down applications common in outdoor condensers, provided the enclosure remains protected from direct water ingress.

How do I change the rotation on this motor?
Rotation is easily reversed by swapping the two leads in the integrated connector, allowing for either Clockwise (CW) or Counter-Clockwise (CCW) operation depending on the fan blade pitch.
