Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-158-A Motor

The Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-158-A Motor is the industry-standard field replacement for Erie PopTop zone valves and damper actuators. This 24V replacement motor operates at 50/60 Hz and is specifically engineered for two-position, spring return valve bodies. Built with a Class F rated insulation system, it is designed to withstand higher internal temperatures in demanding hydronic heating and cooling environments. As a veteran in the field, you know the "PopTop" design for its ease of service; this motor allows for quick actuator head replacement without breaking the line or draining the system. Whether you are servicing AG and AH series actuators or managing zone-specific airflow, the 30-158-A provides the high-torque reliability needed for fail-safe HVAC zone valve operation. This genuine OEM replacement part ensures full compatibility with existing Schneider Electric HVAC systems, maintaining the mechanical integrity of the original installation.

Key Benefits for Contractors:

• Direct Compatibility: Seamlessly replaces motors in Erie AG and AH series PopTop actuators.
• High Thermal Resistance: Class F insulation rating ensures longevity in high-temperature baseboard and fan coil applications.
• Fail-Safe Design: Integrated spring return mechanism ensures the valve returns to its original position during power loss.
• Efficient Installation: Optimized for quick field swaps, minimizing billable time on-site for 2-position motor repairs.
• Versatile Power: Dual frequency (50/60 Hz) support allows for consistent performance across various low-voltage grids.

Common Questions:

Will this motor work with any PopTop actuator?
The 30-158-A is specifically designed for 24V two-position units. Always verify the voltage and control type (modulating vs. two-position) on the actuator lead before installation.

Does this include the entire actuator head?
No, this is the internal replacement motor only. It is intended for technicians looking to repair the drive mechanism within the existing housing to save on material costs.

What is the failure rate in high-moisture environments?
While the 30-158-A is robust, we recommend ensuring the actuator cover is properly seated and that the unit is not exposed to direct piping condensation to prevent premature coil failure.
