Lennox 17F01 Motor

The Lennox 17F01 direct drive blower motor is a 1/3 HP OEM replacement motor designed for high-static pressure applications in Lennox residential air handlers and furnaces. Operating at 208-230V and a nominal 1075 RPM, this PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor features a three-speed configuration to fine-tune airflow across various ductwork geometries. Built with a 48-frame diameter and an open air-over (OAO) enclosure, it ensures optimal thermal dissipation during continuous operation. This Lennox 17F01 blower motor is engineered for a 1/2-inch shaft diameter, facilitating a direct swap with existing squirrel cage assemblies. High-grade internal bearings and insulation ratings are specified to match the original equipment manufacturer’s standards, maintaining system static pressure and CFM delivery. For technicians performing HVAC motor replacement, ensuring the correct capacitor rating is matched to this single-phase induction motor is critical for peak torque and electrical efficiency.

• Multi-Speed Versatility: Three distinct speed taps (High, Medium, Low) allow for precise CFM adjustments based on system tonnage.
• Industrial Build Quality: Features 48-frame construction with robust mounting provisions for reduced vibration and noise transfer.
• Optimized Electrical Efficiency: Designed for 208-230V systems to maintain consistent performance under varied cooling and heating loads.

Common Questions

Is the Lennox 17F01 compatible with other furnace brands?
While designed primarily for Lennox equipment, this motor can serve as a replacement in other units if the frame size, voltage, RPM, and shaft dimensions align. Always verify the manufacturer's cross-reference guide.

What capacitor does the 17F01 motor require?
This motor requires a specific run capacitor (typically 5 MFD or 7.5 MFD at 370V/440V). Check the motor nameplate upon arrival to confirm the exact microfarad requirement for proper phase shift.

Can I use this to replace a 115V motor?
No. The Lennox 17F01 is a 208-230V motor. Installing it in a 115V circuit will result in failure to start or permanent damage to the windings.
