A.O. Smith FSE1026SV1 Motor

The A.O. Smith FSE1026SV1 is a professional-grade 1/4 HP condenser fan motor engineered for high-efficiency performance in demanding HVACR applications. This Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor operates at 1075 RPM and is designed for 208-230V single-phase electrical systems. As a direct replacement for F48E06A48, it features a NEMA 48 frame and a totally enclosed air-over (TEAO) enclosure, providing superior protection against dust and moisture. With its reversible rotation and all-angle mounting capability, this motor offers maximum installation flexibility for various fan blade configurations. The sleeve bearing system ensures quiet operation, while the 1/2" x 6-1/2" shaft facilitates easy integration with standard equipment. Built to withstand high-ambient conditions up to 60°C, the FSE1026SV1 is a reliable solution for maintaining optimal airflow and system cooling efficiency.
