Century Motors F1056S Fan Motor

The Century Motors F1056S Fan Motor is a high-performance 1/2 HP condenser fan motor engineered for demanding outdoor HVAC applications. Designed to handle 208-230 Vac single-phase power at 60Hz, this PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor operates at a consistent 1075 RPM. Built on a 48Y Nema frame (5.6-inch diameter), it features a durable 1/2" x 6 1/2" shaft with double flats for a secure fit on fan hubs. As a reversible rotation fan motor, it provides the versatility needed for various airflow configurations in the field. The ball bearing construction and Class B insulation are rated for ambient temperatures up to 60°C, ensuring reliable operation under heavy thermal loads. This 1-speed HVAC motor is a common direct replacement for Fasco, GE, and Emerson units, providing 2.5 Amps of efficient power for residential and light commercial condenser units. To ensure proper starting torque and protection, the use of a 10 MFD 370V capacitor (not included) is required.

• Enhanced Durability: Equipped with dual ball bearings and automatic thermal overload protection to prevent winding failure during high-ambient operation.
• Universal Compatibility: The reversible rotation and 48Y frame size allow it to replace a wide range of OEM motors in heat pump and refrigeration systems.
• Optimized Shaft Design: The 6.5-inch long shaft with a 1/2-inch diameter can be cut to length, accommodating various fan blade depths and mounting distances.
• High Thermal Rating: Specifically designed for 60°C ambient environments, making it ideal for rooftop installations and high-heat geographic areas.

What capacitor is required for the Century F1056S?
This motor requires a 10 MFD / 370 VAC run capacitor for proper induction and operation. Running without the correct capacitor can lead to overheating and failed starts.

Can this motor be mounted in any orientation?
Yes, the ball bearing system and semi-enclosed design allow for shaft-up, shaft-down, or horizontal mounting. For shaft-up applications, ensure a slinger or drip shield is utilized to protect the internal components from moisture.

Is the rotation difficult to change in the field?
No, rotation is easily reversed by following the lead wire diagram provided on the motor nameplate, typically involving the reconnection of two reversing plugs.
