Rescue EZ-Wire PCS Condensor Fan Motor, 1/3-1/6 HP, 1075RPM, Single Phase, One Speed, 208-230V

U.S. Motors 5430 – Rescue® EZ-Wire PCS Condenser Fan Motor, 1/3–1/6 HP, 208–230V

The U.S. Motors Rescue® 5430 is a permanent split capacitor (PSC) condenser fan motor engineered for high-reliability applications in HVAC condensing units. This model features a dual horsepower design (1/3–1/6 HP) and is optimized for direct OEM replacement across a wide range of residential and light commercial air conditioning systems.

Designed for continuous-duty operation, the 5430 includes EZ-Wire™ simplified lead identification for streamlined installation and field flexibility. The motor is rated for 1075 RPM, 60 Hz, single-phase operation at 208–230V, and supports both vertical and horizontal shaft mounting.

Contractor-Focused Features

• ✅ Multi-HP Design (1/3–1/6 HP) – Consolidates inventory with a wide application range for 48-frame condenser fan motors.

Installation Considerations

This condenser fan motor is designed for drop-in replacement of OEM fan motors on residential and light commercial air conditioning condensing units. EZ-Wire leads simplify field installation and minimize error during replacement. Field-selectable rotation and multi-HP output enable adaptation across multiple applications.

Installation should be performed by licensed HVAC technicians to ensure proper lead configuration, secure mounting, capacitor matching, and rotation verification. Always confirm airflow direction prior to reassembling fan blade and grille components.

Field Applications

Suitable for top-mounted or side-discharge condenser units in residential split-system and package unit configurations. The Rescue® 5430 is commonly used in emergency service calls or as a truck stock replacement where multi-application coverage is essential.

Included Features

• ✅ Color-coded leads for simplified wiring
• ✅ Factory-installed shaft keyway
• ✅ Compatible with most 5 µF or 7.5 µF run capacitors (consult motor label)
• ✅ Mounting hardware not included; uses standard 48-frame bracketry

Contractor Notes

Always use a properly sized run capacitor matching motor plate ratings. Confirm motor amperage after installation under load. Verify blade positioning and motor rotation to ensure correct airflow direction. Avoid operating the motor outside of its rated ambient envelope to maintain longevity.
