Modine 55H0735980002 Power Ventor
The Modine 55H0735980002 Power Ventor is a critical 230V OEM replacement assembly engineered for high-performance forced-draft ventilation in Modine gas-fired unit heaters. This robust Modine 5H0735980002 motor is the official direct replacement for the legacy 5H73598-2 part number, ensuring a drop-in fit with zero field modifications required. Operating at a high-torque 3000 RPM, this 230V unit heater vent motor effectively exhausts combustion gases to maintain the pressure switch vacuum required for safe ignition cycles. Built with Fasco 70219115 Type U21B motor technology, it draws a steady 0.95/1.1 Amps, providing the reliable static pressure necessary for horizontal or vertical venting configurations. For contractors servicing Modine PDP, BDP, or PV unit heaters, this power exhauster assembly is the standard for restoring factory-spec thermal efficiency and preventing draft-related pressure switch lockouts in demanding commercial environments.
Key Benefits- Direct OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed to replace Modine 5H73598-2 and FP 12930 without bracket adjustments.
- Heavy-Duty Specifications: Features a 230V single-phase motor rated for 3000 RPM to ensure consistent flue gas extraction.
- Wide Model Range: Verified for use with Modine PDP250-400, BDP200-400, and PV/BV series units ranging from 175,000 to 400,000 BTU.
- Optimized Performance: Factory-balanced blower wheel reduces vibration and prevents premature bearing wear in the exhauster housing.
Is the 55H0735980002 compatible with my older 115V Modine heater?
No, this is a 230V power ventor specifically for 200-240V circuits. Using this on a 115V system will result in motor failure. Verify your nameplate voltage before installation.
Why is my pressure switch not closing after installing a new ventor?
Ensure the vacuum tubing is clear of debris and the vent pipe is not obstructed. The 3000 RPM motor must reach full speed to generate the required negative pressure.
Can I use this motor to replace a 5H0735980001?
No, the 0001 suffix typically denotes a 115V version. The 5H0735980002 is the dedicated high-voltage replacement for 230V unit heaters.
