Trane MOT5660 Motor

The Trane MOT5660 is a heavy-duty 1/2 HP condenser fan motor designed specifically for commercial and industrial HVAC applications requiring high-voltage 277V single-phase power. Operating at a synchronous speed of 1800 RPM with a NEMA 56 frame, this open drip-proof (ODP) motor provides reliable heat dissipation and torque for consistent air movement across refrigeration coils. As an OEM Trane replacement motor, it ensures precise mechanical alignment and electrical matching, preventing the common amperage spikes associated with generic alternatives. The rigid base and standard shaft dimensions simplify installation in tight rooftop units or air-cooled chillers. When replacing an existing MOT5660 motor, verify the capacitor requirements and lead wire configurations to maintain optimal motor life and system efficiency. This industrial HVAC motor is engineered for continuous duty, making it a critical component for technicians maintaining large-scale climate control systems where uptime is non-negotiable.

• True OEM Compatibility: Ensures direct drop-in replacement for specific Trane and American Standard air handling units.
• High-Voltage Efficiency: Optimized for 277V electrical systems, reducing current draw compared to lower voltage equivalents.
• Standard NEMA 56 Frame: Features a robust mounting footprint and shaft diameter for universal field reliability.
• Thermal Protection: Built-in internal overrides prevent winding failure during high-ambient temperature events.

Is the MOT5660 compatible with variable frequency drives (VFD)?
This specific 1800 RPM motor is designed for single-speed operation. Using it with a VFD may lead to premature winding degradation unless specifically filtered for harmonics.

What is the frame size and mounting style?
The motor uses a standard 56 frame with a rigid base, ensuring it fits the original factory bracketry without modification.

Which HVAC systems use this 277V motor?
It is primarily found in commercial rooftop units (RTUs) and large-scale ventilation systems where 277V lighting or power circuits are utilized.
