Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-118-A Motor

The Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-118-A Motor is a heavy-duty, field-proven replacement designed specifically for Erie Classic G and L dampers manufactured before January 2003. This 24V replacement zone valve motor features high-tier Class F insulation, ensuring reliable operation in high-ambient temperature environments up to 169°F. As a veteran-grade HVAC zone valve motor, it utilizes a spring return two-position action to provide consistent mechanical force for hydraulic and air-side control.

Operating at 50/60 Hz, this synchronous motor is engineered with a Glyptal coating for superior moisture resistance and enhanced structural rigidity, making it the industry standard for PopTop zone valve motor retrofits. Technicians rely on the 30-118-A for its seamless compatibility with older 2-position, 2-wire control systems. Its 5 RPM speed and 7 VA power rating ensure high-torque performance for sealing and opening against system pressure without the risk of early mechanical fatigue.

Key Benefits for Technicians:

• Universal Compatibility: Specifically designed as the drop-in Erie 30-118-A replacement for AG series actuators and Classic G/L dampers.
• Enhanced Durability: Class F insulation rating enables continuous operation in demanding mechanical room environments.
• Moisture Protection: Sealed with Glyptal to prevent internal corrosion in high-humidity or condensing applications.
• Reliable Spring Return: Ensures the valve or damper returns to its fail-safe position immediately upon power loss.
• High Torque Output: Maintains effective close-off performance across 1/2-inch to 1-inch valve bodies.

Common Questions:

How do I confirm if I need the 30-118-A or the 30-158-A?
This 30-118-A motor is built for units manufactured before January 2003. If your actuator was manufactured after this date, you likely require the 30-158-A series for proper fitment and electrical sync.

Does this motor work with 120V systems?
No, this is a 24 VAC replacement motor. Attempting to install this on a 120V circuit will cause immediate component failure. For 120V applications, use the 30-118-B motor.

Can I use this motor for both dampers and zone valves?
Yes, the Schneider Electric 30-118-A is cross-compatible with Erie Classic G and L dampers as well as the VT/VS series PopTop zone valve actuators, provided the manufacture date is pre-2003.
