Trane MOT18698 ECM OD Motor and Module 1/3HP 230V

The Trane MOT18698 is an electronically commutated motor (ECM) with an integrated module designed for Trane HVAC equipment. Unlike conventional AC motors, ECM motors use permanent magnets and vary the motor speed by electronically controlling the DC. This design offers several advantages, including improved efficiency, quieter operation, and better speed control. The Trane MOT18698 is rated for 1/3 horsepower at a lower RPM of 850 compared to some other Trane motors. It operates on a 230V, 60Hz power supply and weighs approximately 11.69 pounds. Due to its efficient operation and variable speed control, the Trane MOT18698 can potentially improve comfort and energy savings in various Trane HVAC applications. By precisely matching airflow to heating or cooling needs, the ECM motor can reduce energy consumption and create a more consistent temperature throughout your space. Additionally, the lower RPMs can translate to quieter operation of your HVAC system.
