Century Motors 158A Motor
The Regal Rexnord Century Motors 158A is a 3/4 HP condenser fan motor designed for compatible HVAC condensing units and air-moving equipment. This 460V single-phase condenser fan motor operates at 1075 RPM with a single-speed configuration and a rated current of 2.1 amps. Its permanent split capacitor (PSC) design is intended for applications requiring dependable fan operation with the correct external run capacitor.
The Century 158A condenser fan motor features a 48Y frame, semi-enclosed air-over construction, and ball bearings. A 1/2-inch diameter shaft, reversible rotation, and resilient ring/extended stud mounting provide installation flexibility where equipment specifications permit.
When selecting this 3/4 HP HVAC condenser motor as a replacement, verify the original motor's voltage, phase, horsepower, speed, full-load amperage, shaft dimensions, mounting arrangement, capacitor requirements, and rotation. This 1075 RPM PSC fan motor should only be installed where its electrical and mechanical ratings match the equipment requirements.
