US Motors 1279 Condenser Motor
The US Motors 1279 Condenser Motor is a high-performance 1/4 HP condenser motor designed for demanding residential and light commercial HVACR applications. Operating at 208-230V and a nominal 1625 RPM, this 2-speed motor provides the torque and speed versatility required for direct-drive blower assemblies and condenser fan units. This model features a compact 42Y frame with a rolled steel housing and is a direct replacement for D247. Engineered with an Open Air-Over (OAO) enclosure, it relies on the system's airflow to maintain optimal operating temperatures, while the automatic overload protection prevents thermal failure during high-static conditions or voltage fluctuations. For contractors looking to maintain OEM standards, the 1279 utilizes a permanent split capacitor (PSC) design, ensuring efficient amperage draw and reliable starting torque across both speed taps.
Key Benefits for HVACR Professionals
- Broad Compatibility: Serves as a versatile 1/4 HP 1625 RPM motor for various condenser and blower configurations.
- Dual-Speed Versatility: The two-speed condenser fan motor design allows for precise airflow modulation to meet specific system load requirements.
- Rugged Construction: Built with a NEMA 42Y frame and high-grade rolled steel for structural integrity in vertical or horizontal mounting positions.
- Fail-Safe Protection: Features internal automatic reset thermal overload protection to safeguard the windings against locked rotor conditions.
- Optimized Efficiency: The 60 Hz single-phase PSC operation minimizes energy consumption compared to standard induction models.
Common Installation Questions
Is this a direct drop-in replacement for the Fasco D247?
Yes, the 1279 is specifically engineered to match the electrical and mechanical profile of the D247 motor, including the 42Y frame dimensions and 1.4-amp rating.
What is the required capacitor for this motor?
While technical requirements can vary by production run, this motor typically requires a 5 MFD / 370V run capacitor to ensure proper phase displacement and torque.
Can this motor be mounted in any orientation?
This motor is designed for open air-over applications and is commonly used in cradle or shaft-up/shaft-down configurations, provided there is adequate airflow over the motor shell.
