International Environmental 70021520 Direct Drive Motor 1/5Hp 115V

The International Environmental 70021520 Direct Drive Motor is a replacement component for a variety of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems. It's an electric motor that links directly to a fan or blower wheel, eliminating the need for belts and pulleys. When supplied with electrical electricity (115V, 60Hz), the motor's internal components produce a revolving magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with the motor's windings, causing the shaft to rotate at a set speed (990 RPM in this case). This rotation is subsequently transferred to the fan or blower wheel, which circulates air through the HVAC system. The 1/5 horsepower rating represents the motor's ability to accomplish work. It is appropriate for powering fans in household and light business HVAC systems. Because it is a direct drive motor. it offers benefits like improved efficiency (less energy loss compared to belt-driven systems) and potentially quieter operation due to the absence of belts and pulleys.
