Carrier HC43AQ116 Blower Motor

The Carrier HC43AQ116 Blower Motor is a high-performance 1/2 HP OEM replacement motor designed for critical indoor air handling applications. Operating at 115V and 1075 RPM, this 4-speed PSC motor serves as the direct replacement for HC43AE116 and HC43AE116A models. Specifically engineered for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne furnaces, it features a 48Y frame and CCW rotation (counter-clockwise lead end) to maintain original system airflow specifications and static pressure requirements. Professionals side-load this permanent split capacitor motor into existing direct-drive blower assemblies using a standard 10 MFD 370VAC capacitor (sold separately) to restore factory-rated heating and cooling performance.

Key Benefits:

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Verified drop-in replacement for Carrier 115V blower motors, ensuring correct shaft alignment and electrical lead matching.
• Multi-Speed Versatility: Features a 4-speed design to accommodate specific CFM requirements for heating, cooling, and continuous fan modes.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with Class B insulation and thermal protection to prevent overheating during air-over continuous operation.
• Optimized Efficiency: Maintains system SEER and AFUE ratings by matching the original 1/2 HP torque profile and 1075 RPM speed.
