Century Motors FE1028SF Motor

The Century FE1028SF HeatMaster Condenser Fan Motor is a high-performance 1/4 HP HVAC replacement motor engineered for demanding outdoor environments. Operating at 825 RPM on 208-230V, this 48 Frame motor features a Totally Enclosed Air Over (TEAO) enclosure to protect internal components from debris and moisture. As a direct replacement for HC33VE209, it utilizes a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) design, requiring a 5 MFD 370V capacitor for optimal torque and efficiency. With ball bearings and a 70°C ambient rating (Class F insulation), this motor sustains performance during peak summer head pressures. The reversible rotation and all-angle mounting provide field flexibility, while the 1/2-inch flatted shaft and 48-inch leads ensure easy integration into diverse condenser fan motor applications.

Technical Benefits for Contractors
