Bard 8105-019 Motor
The Bard 8105-019 Motor is a high-efficiency 1/3 HP induction motor engineered for consistent performance in light commercial HVAC applications. Operating at 208/230V and a fixed 1100 RPM, this permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor is a direct OEM replacement for several Bard wall-mount heat pumps and air conditioners. It features CW rotation (lead end) and utilizes a standard 48-frame configuration for seamless mounting within the blower assembly. Designed for high-static pressure environments, the 8105-019 replacement motor ensures optimal airflow across the evaporator coil, preventing compressor slugging and maintaining system ?T. When performing a field replacement, technicians should verify the required run capacitor rating—typically 5 MFD at 370V—and inspect the blower wheel for debris to prevent premature bearing failure. This motor is built for continuous duty cycles, ensuring reliable air transition in demanding climate control setups.
- Direct OEM Fit: Eliminates the need for bracket modifications or shaft trimming in Bard units.
- High Thermal Protection: Features internal overload protection to prevent winding burnout during voltage fluctuations.
- Optimized RPM: Fixed 1100 RPM output maintains the specific CFM requirements for high-efficiency heat pump operation.
- Durable Construction: Built with high-grade bearings suited for the vertical or horizontal mounting positions found in wall-mount packages.
Commonly Asked Questions
What is the direction of rotation for the Bard 8105-019?
This motor is Clockwise (CW) when viewed from the lead end/back of the motor. Always confirm your blower wheel pitch matches this orientation to ensure proper airflow.
Which capacitor should I use with this 1/3 HP blower motor?
The Bard 8105-019 typically requires a 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor. Using a capacitor with an incorrect microfarad rating can lead to excessive heat and shortened motor life.
Can this motor replace a higher horsepower or multi-speed motor?
It is recommended to match the 1/3 HP and 1100 RPM specifications exactly. Replacing a multi-speed motor with this single-speed unit may require wiring adjustments to the control board to ensure the blower triggers correctly during the cooling cycle.
