Packard 15040 Unit Bearing Fan Motor 50W 115V

Product Description

The PACKARD 15040 is a shaded-pole unit bearing fan motor rated at 50 watts and 115 volts, designed for continuous-duty air movement applications in HVAC and refrigeration equipment. Running at 1500 RPM, this motor ships with mounting hardware included and uses a double foot pad mounting configuration. The cast iron construction provides durability in demanding service environments. Rotation direction is determined by viewing the lead end of the motor. This is a USA-manufactured replacement motor suitable for HVAC technicians and refrigeration service professionals performing motor changeouts in the field.

This motor is commonly installed in unit coolers, evaporator coils, condenser sections, and light commercial refrigeration equipment where a compact, direct-drive shaded-pole motor is required. The double foot pad mount and included hardware simplify the swap process on a wide range of equipment configurations. Its 115-volt single-phase design matches standard utility voltage found in residential and light commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before removing the failed motor or handling wiring. Confirm rotation direction by viewing the lead end prior to final mounting, as reversing rotation on a fan motor can reduce airflow or damage the blade assembly. Verify voltage and wattage ratings match the application before energizing the replacement motor.
