Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-118-B Motor

The Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-118-B Motor is a high-torque, spring return, two-position replacement motor specifically engineered for Erie Classic G and L Dampers manufactured prior to January 2003. This 110/120V AC, 50/60 Hz component is built with a Class F rating to withstand demanding ambient conditions in commercial and residential HVAC zone control applications. Utilizing the Poptop® actuator mounting system, it allows for seamless installation and service without the need for full valve disassembly. The motor delivers a quick-opening flow characteristic with a drive time of 25 seconds and a rapid 9-second spring return, making it the industry standard for Erie zone valve motor replacement. Designed for two-wire, two-position operation, this motor ensures precise close-off pressure management for air handlers, fan coils, and baseboard heating systems using Erie PopTop series actuators (AG and AH models). Whether managing hot water, chilled water, or 15 psig steam, this replacement damper motor provides the reliable mechanical force required to restore legacy system performance efficiently.

Key Benefits:

• Broad Compatibility: Designed primarily as an Erie 30-118-B motor replacement for legacy G and L damper units.
• Fast Actuation: Achieves a 25-second drive time at 60 Hz with a reliable spring return mechanism that resets in under 9 seconds.
• High Temperature Performance: Features a Class F insulation rating, allowing for stable operation in high-heat environments up to 250°F with AH actuators.
• Simplified Installation: Equipped with 18-inch leads and the proprietary Poptop pressure-balanced mounting for fast field replacement.
• Durable Construction: Built with an aluminum cover and stainless steel base plate to ensure long-term mechanical integrity in HVAC/R service.

Common Questions:

Is this motor compatible with Erie dampers made after 2003?
The 30-118-B motor is specifically designed for Erie Classic G and L dampers manufactured before January 2003. For units manufactured after this date, please verify the current part number against your existing actuator housing to ensure a correct fit.

Can I use this motor for steam applications?
Yes, this motor is compatible with systems utilizing up to 15 psig steam, provided the valve body and combined high performance AH actuator are also rated for such temperatures.

How do I wire the Schneider 30-118-B?
This is a standard two-wire, two-position motor. It comes with 18-inch leads and should be wired according to the original 120V control circuit specifications for your zone valve or damper system.
