Nidec-US Motors 5470 Motor

The Nidec-US Motors 5470 is a versatile, multi-horsepower Rescue permanent split capacitor motor designed as a high-efficiency universal replacement for residential and light commercial blower applications. Built to withstand the rigors of continuous air-over duty, this 4-speed furnace blower motor eliminates the need to carry multiple single-rating units on your service truck. Whether you are replacing a 3/4 HP, 1/2 HP, 1/3 HP, 1/4 HP, or 1/5 HP motor, the 5470 provides the flexibility required for rapid field installation. It is a direct mechanical and electrical equivalent to the 918016 and is engineered for 115V single-phase systems, operating at a nominal 1075 RPM.

This 48Y NEMA frame motor features an Open Air Over (OAO) enclosure and robust ball bearings for reliable performance in vertical or horizontal orientations. The reversible rotation capability is easily adjusted in the field, making it compatible with a wide array of OEM furnace and air handler brands, including Rheem and Ruud, thanks to its specialized side-shell mounting holes. The unit supports both ring and stud mounting and includes a 1/2" diameter x 5" long shaft with a flat for a secure blower wheel attachment. To ensure safe operation, it is equipped with automatic reset thermal overload protection and is rated for Class B insulation at a 40?C ambient temperature.

• Universal Compatibility: One motor covers 5 different horsepower ratings (3/4 down to 1/5 HP), reducing vehicle inventory requirements.
• Ease of Installation: Includes 36-inch leads, 2.5-inch resilient rings, and extended mounting studs for varied housing configurations.
• Enhanced Durability: Dual ball bearings support all-angle mounting and provide smoother operation compared to standard sleeve-bearing alternatives.
• Field Reversibility: Simple plug-and-play lead configuration allows for quick switching between CW and CCW rotation.

Which capacitor is required for this motor?
While requirements vary by tap, the 5470 generally utilizes a 10 MFD or 20 MFD 370V capacitor. Always verify the specific capacitor requirements for each speed tap on the motor nameplate during installation.

Is this motor compatible with Rheem or Ruud equipment?
Yes, the 5470 shell includes specialized pre-drilled holes specifically designed to match Rheem and Ruud mounting brackets without the need for additional drilling.

Can I use this motor in a condenser fan application?
This is an Open Air Over (OAO) blower motor intended for indoor furnace and air handler use. For outdoor condenser fan applications, an Enclosed Air Over (EAO) motor should be used to protect against moisture.
