FASCO D727 Blower Motor Overview
The FASCO D727 is a 1/3 HP direct-drive blower motor designed for ceiling fan applications. It operates on 115V AC single-phase power at 60 Hz with a permanent split capacitor design. The motor delivers three-speed operation at a nameplate RPM of 1,075 and provides 250 W output. It features a 48 frame size and auto thermal protection for continuous duty cycles.
Electrical Compatibility Check
Verify that your supply voltage is 115V AC, as the motor is not usable at 200V or 208V. Confirm the circuit can handle the full-load amp draw of 5.9 A on high speed, 4.6 A on medium, or 3.8 A on low. Ensure the existing capacitor matches the permanent split capacitor design and that wiring supports reversible CW/CCW rotation. The motor requires a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees C.
Installation and Build Integration
The open drip-proof enclosure requires a mounting location protected from direct moisture while allowing airflow for cooling. The 48 frame dimensions dictate the mounting footprint and shaft alignment with the fan assembly. Direct-drive design eliminates belt maintenance and frees up space otherwise needed for pulleys or tensioners. Auto thermal protection adds safety during extended continuous operation.

Questions about this item
Does the FASCO D727 motor come with a capacitor and mounting hardware, or do I need to buy them separately?
The motor is a permanent split capacitor design that requires a run capacitor matched to the 1/3 hp, 115 V, 48-frame rating. Mounting hardware is not included and must be sourced separately.
How do I decide between the 1/3 hp, 1/4 hp and 1/5 hp ratings shown on the nameplate?
The three horsepower ratings correspond to the three speed taps. High speed delivers 1/3 hp at 5.9 A, medium 1/4 hp at 4.6 A, and low 1/5 hp at 3.8 A. Choose the tap that matches the airflow and current draw your application requires.
What does the 1,075 RPM nameplate speed mean once the motor is installed in my blower?
At 115 V and 60 Hz the motor runs at 1,075 RPM on high speed under full load. Actual speed will vary slightly with load and voltage, but the 1/3 hp, 250 W output is rated for continuous duty at up to 40 °C ambient.
