Nidec-US Motors 3136 Motor

The Nidec-US Motors 3136 is a professional-grade 1/2 HP blower motor engineered for demanding HVACR applications. Operating at 230Vac, this PSC motor (Permanent Split Capacitor) delivers 1075 RPM with three-speed versatility to optimize airflow across various systems. Built on a 48Y NEMA frame, it features an Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure to facilitate efficient cooling while maintaining a compact 5.6-inch diameter for standard housing compatibility. As the direct replacement for the GEN3696, this unit integrates seamlessly with existing setups, utilizing a dual 1/2" shaft design for dual-blower configurations. The inclusion of self-aligning sleeve bearings and automatic reset thermal overload protection ensures reliable performance under continuous-duty cycles. Whether you are performing a hub or stud mount installation, the CCW lead end rotation and standard 20-inch leads provide the flexibility required for field retrofits. Professional installation is recommended to ensure the appropriate capacitor—typically 5 MFD at 370V—is utilized for optimal torque and efficiency.

• Multi-Speed Flexibility: Designed with three operational speeds to match specific system static pressure requirements and improve air distribution.
• Wide Compatibility: Serves as a primary cross-reference for the GEN3696 and other 5.6" diameter NEMA 48 frame motors.
• Dual-Shaft Design: Features an 8-inch double shaft, making it the standard choice for blowers requiring simultaneous drive from both ends.
• Durable Construction: The Open Drip Proof design and Class B insulation are optimized for air-over applications, preventing internal overheating.
• Mounting Versatility: Equipped for hub or stud mounting, allowing for easy installation in a variety of blower wheel housings.

Is this motor compatible with 208V systems?
Yes, the Nidec 3136 is rated for 230V but typically operates within standard 208-230V residential and commercial electrical tolerances.

Does the 3136 include a mounting kit?
The motor features extended studs and hub rings. Always verify if your specific housing requires additional cradle mounts or specialized brackets before installation.

What rotation is required for this model?
This specific unit is CCW lead end rotation (Counter-Clockwise). Ensure your blower wheel pitch matches this rotation to maintain proper HVAC airflow.
