Trane MOT18732 Motor
The Trane MOT18732 is an OEM 200-230V 1/6HP condenser fan motor engineered for high-static pressure outdoor applications across residential and light commercial cooling systems. Operating at a fixed 1650 RPM, this motor provides the consistent torque needed to drive air through dense condenser coils, ensuring efficient heat rejection and 0.98 Amp current draws under load. This 42-frame motor features an insulation class F rating and durable construction to withstand the environmental stressors common to outdoor HVAC units, including seasonal temperature extremes and moisture.
For technicians in the field, this unit serves as the direct replacement for MOT8803, D151268P01, and MOT08803, facilitating a drop-in installation without the need for additional mount modifications. It is commonly found in Trane and American Standard TTB and TTR series units. Utilizing an HVAC replacement motor with precise factory specifications like the MOT18732 is essential for maintaining the correct CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) and prevents premature compressor wear by stabilizing the high-side pressure of the refrigeration cycle.
Key Benefits- Factory Precision: Ensures exact compatibility with Trane HVAC systems, eliminating the risk of mismatched shaft lengths or electrical ratings.
- Optimal Heat Exchange: A reliable 1650 RPM speed maintains the specific airflow velocities required to discharge heat from the refrigerant circuit.
- OEM Durability: Built as a genuine Trane part, featuring the internal windings and bearing quality expected for 24/7 outdoor operation.
- Seamless Integration: Replaces multiple legacy part numbers including D151268P01, reducing truck stock complexity and service call time.
Is this motor compatible with 208V systems?
Yes, the MOT18732 is rated for a 200-230V range, making it fully compatible with standard 208/230V single-phase power supplies found in most residential HVAC applications.
What rotation direction is this motor?
This specific condenser motor is designed for counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation as viewed from the lead end, matching the requirements of the original Trane fan blade pitch.
Can I use this to replace a 1075 RPM motor?
No. It is critical to match the RPM rating of the original motor. Using a 1650 RPM motor in place of a lower-speed motor can result in excessive noise, motor overload, or fan blade failure due to increased centrifugal forces.
