Shaded-pole HVAC motor for residential units

This FASCO D0396 motor is a single-phase shaded-pole replacement designed for 208-230 V AC systems. It delivers 1/20 hp at 1450 rpm with a 3.3 frame and 40 W output. The open air-over enclosure and stud mounting suit direct-drive fan or blower applications in residential and light-commercial equipment. Auto thermal protection and Class B insulation support continuous duty at up to 40 °C ambient.

Replaces worn shaded-pole motors in same frame

The unit serves as a drop-in replacement for failed shaded-pole motors of identical horsepower, voltage, speed and frame dimensions. The jump is worth it when the original motor shows bearing noise, reduced airflow or thermal tripping, restoring rated 0.90-1.0 A performance without rewiring. It is not usable at 200 V, so installations fed by 200 V supplies require a different motor.

Fits stud-mounted, open air-over housings

The motor mounts on studs and requires an open air-over enclosure where the driven fan provides cooling airflow. Clockwise shaft-end rotation must match the blower wheel direction. The assembly frees up internal space compared to larger frame motors while delivering the specified 40 W output. Builders needing reversible rotation, multiple speeds or a closed enclosure must select a different motor.

Questions about this item

What stud mounting pattern does the 3.3 frame motor use?

The motor mounts via a stud mounting type on its 3.3 steel frame; match the stud spacing to your HVAC housing before installation.

How do I wire the shaded-pole motor for 208-230V single-phase operation?

Connect the two supply leads to the motor terminals; the shaded-pole design runs CWSE at 1450 RPM with no capacitor required.

When should I plan to replace the motor given its thermal protection and insulation class?

The auto thermal protection and Class B insulation rated for 40°C ambient help extend life; replace if the motor draws over 1.0 amp or runs hotter than normal.
