Century Motors ORM1028 Motor

The Century Motors ORM1028 is a robust 1/4 HP condenser fan motor engineered for demanding HVACR applications requiring a PSC motor configuration. Operating at 825 RPM with a 2-speed capability, this 5.6-inch diameter motor is designed for high-static environments. It features a 208-230V power rating and draws 2.0 Amps, ensuring efficient heat dissipation in outdoor units. The CCWLE rotation (Counter-Clockwise Lead End) and the standard 1/2" x 3 3/8" shaft allow for seamless mechanical integration with OEM fan blades. Built with all-angle mounting capabilities and Class B insulation, this motor handles high ambient temperatures without premature thermal tripping. The totally enclosed air over (TEAO) design protects internal windings from environmental debris, making it a reliable field replacement for condenser motor troubleshooting and performance upgrades in residential or light commercial split systems.

• Dual-Speed Versatility: The two-speed motor design allows for optimized airflow control and energy efficiency in compatible systems.
• Enhanced Durability: Features an energy-efficient motor design with permanent split capacitor technology for consistent torque.
• Flexible Installation: The 5 5/8 inch frame and common NEMA 48 frame dimensions ensure compatibility with a wide range of mounting brackets.
• Outdoor Protection: TEAO enclosure prevents moisture and dust ingress, extending the service life of the HVAC replacement motor.

What capacitor is required for the Century ORM1028?
This motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370 VAC capacitor to ensure proper phase shift and starting torque. Always verify the rating on the motor nameplate.

Can this motor be used in a horizontal application?
Yes, the Century ORM1028 is designed with ball bearings or reinforced sleeve bearings suitable for all-angle mounting, including horizontal and vertical orientations.

Is this motor compatible with 460V systems?
No, this unit is rated strictly for 208-230Vac. Applying higher voltage will cause immediate winding failure.
