Nidec-US Motors 8673 Condenser Motor

The Nidec-US Motors 8673 Condenser Motor is a professional-grade 1/6 HP HVAC replacement motor engineered for demanding outdoor environments. Operating at 825 RPM on 208-230V single-phase power, this Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor pulls a low 1.0 Amp, ensuring efficient thermal management. Built on a 48Y NEMA frame, it features a Totally Enclosed Air Over (TEAO) enclosure to protect internal windings from atmospheric contaminants and moisture. This unit utilizes a SAB bearing system for quiet, reliable rotation in vertical shaft-down or shaft-up orientations. As a direct replacement for MOT11233, this stud mount condenser fan motor provides a precise fit for numerous OEM condensing units. Technicians should note that this is a universal replacement motor requiring a 5 MFD / 370V capacitor; ensure you cut shaft to length as required by the specific shroud depth of the application to maintain optimal airflow balance.

• Direct OEM Interchange: Engineered as a drop-in MOT11233 replacement motor to reduce downtime on the job site.
• High-Torque PSC Design: Maintains consistent 825 RPM condenser fan speed for stable head pressure regulation.
• Industrial Build Quality: The TEAO enclosure and 48Y frame match standard HVAC motor specifications for outdoor residential and light commercial units.
• Flexible Mounting: Extended mounting studs allow for rapid installation in standard 48-frame brackets.

What capacitor is required for the Nidec 8673?
This motor requires a 5 MFD / 370VAC run capacitor (sold separately) for proper phase shift and torque.

Can I use this to replace an 1075 RPM motor?
No, replacing a 1075 RPM motor with this 825 RPM model will decrease airflow across the coils, leading to high head pressure and potential compressor failure.

Is the shaft length adjustable?
The motor features a long service shaft designed to be cut to length to match the specific blower wheel or fan blade offset of the original equipment.
