Trane MOT17346 Motor

The Trane MOT17346 Motor is a precision-engineered OEM Trane replacement motor built for high-static residential and light commercial fan applications. This direct drive blower motor operates with a versatile multi-rating of 1/6-1/5 HP, running at a nominal 850 RPM. Designed for 200-230V single-phase electrical systems (60Hz), this motor ensures exact drop-in compatibility with existing Trane and American Standard air handlers and furnaces. As a technician, you know that maintaining HVAC blower motor efficiency depends on accurate torque and speed matches; the MOT17346 utilizes a standard NEMA frame size often requiring a 5 MFD/370V capacitor (verify against your specific cabinet data plate). This Trane condenser fan motor and blower assembly component is built to withstand the thermal demands of continuous duty cycles, ensuring your service call results in a permanent fix without the balancing issues found in generic aftermarket alternatives.

Common Installation Questions:

Is the MOT17346 a direct replacement for MOT02456?
Yes, this unit often replaces several legacy Trane part numbers. Always verify the shaft diameter and frame length against the existing bracket before installation.

What capacitor is required for this motor?
Most variations of this replacement HVAC motor require a run capacitor (typically 5 MFD at 370V), which should be replaced at the time of motor installation to protect the windings.

Can this motor be used in 50Hz applications?
No, this motor is specifically rated for 60Hz systems. Using it on 50Hz will result in overheating and premature failure due to incorrect synchronous speed.
