Tecumseh 16w230 Elco Reversible Motor 230V

Product Description

The TECUMSEH 16w230 is a reversible ELCO motor rated at 230 volts, designed for use in refrigeration and HVAC equipment where directional flexibility is required. ELCO motors are widely used as OEM and replacement components in condensing units, evaporator fan assemblies, and similar forced-air applications. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers of this motor type. The 230-volt rating makes it suitable for commercial and light commercial equipment operating on standard single-phase power supplies.

This motor is applicable in refrigeration condensing units, evaporator coil fan assemblies, and comparable forced-air cooling systems that require a reversible-rotation motor. The ELCO motor platform is common in both new equipment builds and field replacement scenarios where the original motor has failed or degraded in performance. Verify rotation direction requirements and mounting configuration before installation to confirm suitability for the specific application.

Key Features

• Reversible rotation direction for flexible installation and replacement applications
• Rated at 230 volts for compatibility with standard single-phase commercial power
• ELCO motor design widely used in refrigeration and HVAC fan assemblies
• Suitable for condensing unit and evaporator fan replacement service work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement reversible ELCO motor for refrigeration and HVAC fan assemblies operating on 230-volt single-phase power.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or refrigeration mechanic familiar with motor replacement procedures. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before removing the existing motor or making any wiring connections. Confirm shaft diameter, rotation direction, and mounting dimensions match the application before completing installation. Follow all applicable NEC requirements for motor wiring and overcurrent protection.
