Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-158-B Motor

The Schneider Electric (Erie) 30-158-B Motor is a high-reliability, two-position motor engineered specifically for Erie PopTop zone valve assemblies. This 110/120V replacement motor operates seamlessly at both 50/60 Hz, making it a versatile drop-in solution for aging AG and AH series actuators. Designed for heavy-duty cycling, the 30-158-B features a replacement spring return mechanism that ensures the valve returns to its fail-safe position during power loss. Its Class F rated insulation provides superior thermal resistance, allowing for dependable operation in high-temperature HVAC fancoil units and hydronic heating systems. Whether you are servicing a commercial air handler or a residential boiler loop, this synchronous motor delivers the high-torque performance required to actuate the valve stem against line pressure without binding.

Key Benefits

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered as a precise Erie PopTop motor replacement for AG and AH series actuator heads.
• Robust Spring Return: Features a reliable spring return actuator design for fail-safe, normally closed or normally open operation.
• Thermal Integrity: Class F rated construction handles high ambient heat, extending the service life of the hydronic zone valve motor.
• Dual Frequency Versatility: Fully compatible with 110/120V 50/60Hz electrical systems for consistent timing and torque.
• Field Service Efficiency: Quick-connect design allows for motor swap-outs without breaking the hydronic seal or draining the system.

Common Questions

Can I use the 30-158-B to replace a 24V motor?
No, this is a 110/120V motor. Installing this on a 24V circuit will prevent operation, and attempting to wire a 24V head with 120V power will result in immediate component failure. Always verify your transformer output before installation.

How do I know if the motor or the valve body is failing?
If you hear a "screaming" or grinding noise, the internal gears of the PopTop motor are typically stripped. If the motor is silent but the valve won't move, check for 120V at the leads. If power is present and the manual lever has no resistance, the motor coil is likely burnt out.

Does this motor include the actuator housing?
The 30-158-B is the internal replacement motor component. It is designed to be installed inside your existing Erie PopTop actuator shell to restore functionality without replacing the entire head assembly.
