What this motor is and who it fits
The FASCO D742 is a new condenser fan motor rated at 1/4 HP for 208-230V AC single-phase supplies. It uses a permanent split capacitor design and a 48 frame steel housing with stud mounting. The open dripproof enclosure suits continuous duty in HVAC condenser units where a direct replacement match is required.
The spec that decides fit
Nameplate speed is 1,075 RPM at 60 Hz with a 1.0 service factor and Class B insulation. Full-load current is 2.1 A at 230 V and the motor is usable at 208 V but not at 200 V. Rotation is reversible CW/CCW and thermal protection is automatic, so the electrical nameplate must match the original unit exactly.
Heat, noise and power in normal use
Output is 190 W continuous with a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C. The open dripproof steel frame relies on natural airflow through the condenser for cooling. Auto-reset thermal protection cuts power if internal temperature exceeds the Class B limit, then restarts once the motor cools.

Questions about this item
What does the 1075 RPM rating mean once the motor is installed in a condenser unit?
The motor runs at 1075 RPM under full load, delivering 190 W of mechanical output to drive the condenser fan blade at its design speed.
How does the 208-230 V single-phase supply and 2.1 A full-load current limit what the motor can do?
It draws 2.1 A at 208-230 V AC, 60 Hz, and is rated for continuous duty at up to 40 °C ambient; operation at 200 V is not supported.
What does the 48 frame and stud mounting require for physical installation?
The steel 48-frame body uses stud mounting, so the replacement must match the same bolt pattern and shaft dimensions to fit the existing bracket.
