Value Collection FE-120D5-M Psc Ac Motor 1.5 Hp 120V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FE-120D5-M is a permanent split capacitor (PSC) AC motor built for HVAC applications requiring reliable, two-speed blower or fan operation. Rated at 1.5 horsepower and 120 volts AC, this motor spins at 1,600 nameplate RPM and draws 9 amps at full load. It ships with a 55 microfarad (MFD) run capacitor requirement and features Class E insulation, automatic thermal protection, and ball bearings for durability in continuous-duty cycles. The steel frame and open enclosure style suit indoor air-handling environments where adequate airflow passes over the motor housing. HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this unit.

This motor is designed for HVAC system applications such as blower assemblies and fan sections in residential and light-commercial air handlers, furnaces, and similar forced-air equipment. The ear screw mount style allows direct attachment to motor mounting brackets or cradles common in ducted HVAC cabinets. With two speed taps available and automatic thermal protection built in, it suits installations where motor protection and speed flexibility are required without external overload relays. Ball bearing construction supports the sustained load cycles typical of year-round HVAC operation.

Key Features

• 1.5 HP output at 1,600 nameplate RPM for HVAC blower and fan duty
• 120V AC, 60 Hz single-phase input with 9-amp full load current draw
• 55 MFD run capacitor compatible (capacitor sold separately)
• Two-speed configuration for supply fan or blower multi-speed control
• Automatic thermal protection guards against overtemperature failure
• Ball bearing construction for long service life under continuous operation
• Ear screw mount for direct bracket or cradle installation in air-handler cabinets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement PSC motor for residential and light-commercial HVAC air-handling and forced-air blower applications requiring a 1.5 HP, 120V, 1,600 RPM, two-speed, ear-screw-mount motor with open enclosure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the air handler or furnace before removing the existing motor or making any wiring connections. Verify the run capacitor rating matches the motor nameplate before energizing — using an incorrectly rated capacitor can damage the motor windings. Ensure the mounting bracket and ear screw hardware are properly torqued and the motor shaft is aligned with the blower wheel before restoring power.
