Trane MOT18626 Motor

The Trane MOT18626 is a professional-grade OEM replacement condenser fan motor designed for high-static applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This 1/4 HP motor operates at 200-230V with a rated speed of 825 RPM, making it a critical component for maintaining proper head pressure and heat transfer in Trane and American Standard outdoor units. Built with a NEMA 48 frame size, this motor features a permanent split capacitor (PSC) design, requiring a 5 MFD/370V capacitor for optimal torque and efficiency. It serves as the direct replacement for MOT09646, ensuring exact physical dimensions and electrical compatibility for field swaps. The totally enclosed air over (TEAO) enclosure protects internal windings from environmental debris, extending the service life of the fan motor in harsh outdoor conditions. This unit is engineered for vertical shaft-up or shaft-down orientations, providing the versatility needed for various cabinet configurations.

Key Benefits
