Bard S8101-024 Motor

The Bard S8101-024 is a direct replacement 1/10 HP blower motor engineered for specific Bard wall-mount heat pumps and air conditioning units. This PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor operates on 208-230V single-phase power and features a 3-speed design, allowing for precise airflow adjustment based on static pressure requirements. With a frame size designated for interior blower decks, the S8101-024 motor utilizes high-grade windings to maintain thermal efficiency during continuous duty cycles. As a genuine OEM Bard replacement part, it ensures proper shaft alignment and torque specifications, preventing the premature bearing wear often associated with universal motors. When installing, technicians should verify the capacitor microfarad rating to ensure optimal starting torque and amp draw. This motor is the standard specification for maintaining the factory CFM ratings of Bard equipment, ensuring the evaporator coil operates within the designed temperature rise parameters.

• OEM Compatibility: Direct drop-in replacement for Bard S8101-024 series units, ensuring plug-and-play wiring.
• Multi-Speed Versatility: Features a 3-speed configuration to tune system airflow for varying ductwork restrictions.
• Electrical Efficiency: Rated for 208-230V operation with optimized FLA (Full Load Amperage) for lower energy consumption.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality bearings and thermal overload protection for reliable performance in high-ambient conditions.
• Precision Balanced: Factory balanced to minimize vibration and noise transfer throughout the cabinetry.

What are the wiring color codes for the different speeds on the S8101-024?
Standard Bard wiring typically uses Black for High, Blue for Medium, and Red for Low, with Brown leads dedicated to the run capacitor, though you should always verify against the cabinet's specific wiring diagram.

Does this motor require a new run capacitor during installation?
It is best practice to replace the capacitor whenever a blower motor replacement is performed to ensure the motor receives the correct phase shift and maximum torque.

Is the Bard S8101-024 reversible?
This motor is typically set for a fixed rotation based on Bard’s blower wheel orientation. Always check the rotation arrow on the motor housing against the old unit before final mounting.
