Carrier HC35GQ235 Motor

The Carrier HC35GQ235 Outdoor Motor is a precision-engineered OEM replacement motor designed for condenser fan applications in Carrier, Bryant, and Payne residential and light commercial units. Operating at 208-230V, this 1/8 HP motor is built for efficiency and thermal stability in demanding outdoor environments. With an 825 RPM rating, it provides the specific torque and airflow required to maintain head pressure and heat transfer efficiency without the excessive noise or turbulence often found in generic replacements. This motor features a standard 48-frame diameter and uses a capacitor-run induction design to ensure a constant speed under varied load conditions. As a direct drop-in HVAC motor, it maintains original equipment vibration dampening and electrical lead configurations, reducing installation time for technicians in the field and ensuring the longevity of the compressor by maintaining proper cooling cycles.

Key Benefits

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered specifically for Carrier-family equipment to ensure proper mounting and electrical indexing.
• Optimized RPM Profile: The 825 RPM operating speed is tuned for high-efficiency fan blades, preventing motor over-amping and optimizing air draw.
• Industrial-Grade Insulation: Designed to withstand high ambient temperatures typical of outdoor condenser units.
• Sealed Bearings: Provides protection against moisture and debris, extending service life in harsh climates.

Common Questions

What capacitor is required for the Carrier HC35GQ235?
This motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor. Always check the motor nameplate during installation to confirm the specific microfarad rating for your unit.

Can I use a 1075 RPM motor to replace this 825 RPM motor?
No. Substituting an 825 RPM motor with a 1075 RPM motor will result in excessive airflow, noise, and likely motor failure due to overloading the windage of the fan blade. Always match the RPM rating to the original HC35GQ235 motor specs.

Is this motor reversible?
The HC35GQ235 is factory-set for standard rotation. Consult the wiring diagram on the motor housing to verify rotation direction for your specific fan blade assembly.
