1/3 – 1 hp,115/208/230V Single Phase ECM Variable Speed Blower Motor

U.S. Motors 5860 – Rescue EZ16™ Universal ECM Replacement Motor with Variable Speed Performance

The Rescue EZ16™ Universal ECM Replacement Motor (Model 5860) is an electronically commutated motor (ECM) engineered for high-efficiency blower applications in HVAC systems. Rated for 1/3 to 1 horsepower, this variable-speed motor is suitable for retrofitting a wide range of residential and light commercial furnace and air handler platforms. Integrated surge and moisture protection enhance its field durability in demanding electrical and environmental conditions.

This motor supports multiple voltage inputs (115/208/230V) in a single-phase configuration and is equipped with 6,000V surge protection. Its advanced ECM technology allows for precise airflow control while maintaining quiet, energy-efficient operation throughout variable load conditions.

Performance and Protection Features

• ✅ Universal Fitment – Designed to replace a broad spectrum of OEM ECM motors in standard HVAC blower assemblies.
• ✅ Multi-Voltage Support – Operates across 115V, 208V, and 230V single-phase input with automatic detection.
• ✅ Integrated Surge Protection – Rated to withstand electrical transients up to 6,000 volts, protecting motor control circuits.
• ✅ Sealed Electronics – Engineered to withstand moisture ingress and reduce failure in high-humidity environments.
• ✅ Variable Speed Operation – ECM technology adjusts airflow based on system demand for optimal performance and energy savings.
