Us Motors 5462 Psc Ac Motor 1/3 to 1/6 Hp Teao Stud Band Mount

Product Description

The US MOTORS 5462 is a single-phase permanent split capacitor (PSC) AC motor built for HVAC condenser fan applications. It operates on 208 to 230 volts at 60 Hz and delivers selectable horsepower outputs of 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, or 1/6 HP at 1075 RPM. The TEAO (totally enclosed air-over) enclosure protects internal components from airborne debris and moisture exposure common in outdoor condensing unit environments. The motor ships at 6 pounds and measures 9.6 inches in overall length. It supports both stud and band mounting configurations, giving installers flexibility when replacing worn condenser fan motors across a range of cabinet styles. Licensed HVAC technicians are the primary installers for this part.

This motor is designed for residential and light commercial HVAC condenser fan duty. Its reversible rotation and dual-speed capability make it a practical replacement motor in split-system air conditioners and heat pumps where the original motor has failed or degraded in efficiency. The 48YZ frame size is a common form factor in outdoor condensing units. Full load amperage is rated at 2.6 amps on the lower voltage tap and 1.8 amps on the higher tap, and the Class B insulation rating suits standard ambient operating conditions starting at 60 degrees F. Auto thermal protection provides self-resetting overload defense.

Key Features

• PSC motor design eliminates the need for a run capacitor in the start winding circuit - a dedicated run capacitor is still required and must be matched to the motor rating
• TEAO enclosure rated for outdoor air-over condenser fan service
• Selectable HP: 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, or 1/6 HP in a single unit
• Dual-speed operation with reversible shaft rotation
• Stud and band mount compatibility for broad cabinet fitment
• Auto thermal protection for self-resetting overload defense
• 48YZ frame with 1/2-inch diameter by 5-inch shaft

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement PSC condenser fan motor for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring a 48YZ frame, TEAO enclosure, 208 to 230V single-phase motor with stud or band mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician following applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines. Always disconnect and lock out power at the disconnect box before removing the existing motor or accessing wiring. Verify that the replacement run capacitor MFD rating matches the new motor nameplate before energizing. Confirm shaft rotation direction before final assembly, as incorrect rotation will reduce airflow and can cause system damage.
