Nidec-US Motors 1357 Condenser Motor

The Nidec-US Motors 1357 Condenser Motor is a high-performance 1/8 HP HVAC replacement motor designed for continuous air-over (CAO) applications in residential and commercial cooling systems. Operating at 115V single-phase power with a rated speed of 1600 RPM, this PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor provides the reliable torque necessary for demanding condenser fan duties. Built on a 48Y NEMA frame with a 5.6-inch diameter, the 1357 features an open air over (OAO) enclosure to maximize heat dissipation during operation. It includes a 1/2-inch x 3.0-inch shaft and utilizes a 5 MFD / 370V capacitor for optimal starting and running efficiency. This roll-formed steel motor is engineered for versatility with reversible rotation and automatic reset thermal overload protection, ensuring it stands up to the rigors of high-ambient environments typically found in outdoor condensing units.

• Enhanced Durability: Features all-angle sleeve bearings and Class B insulation rated for high-ambient temperatures.
• Universal Versatility: The reversible rotation capability and extended stud mounts simplify installation across various OEM fan housings.
• Reliable Protection: Integrated automatic thermal overload prevents winding burnout during voltage fluctuations or restricted airflow.
• Quiet Operation: Precision-balanced rotor and PSC design reduce electrical noise and mechanical vibration.

What is the frame size of the 1357 motor?
This motor utilizes a 48Y NEMA frame, which features a 5.6-inch diameter and a shortened body to fit tight condenser compartments.

Does this motor require a specific capacitor?
Yes, for peak performance and to maintain proper amperage draw, a 5 MFD / 370V or 440V run capacitor is required.

Can I change the rotation direction in the field?
Yes, the Nidec 1357 is designed with reversible rotation, allowing the technician to switch leads to match either CW or CCW requirements.
