The Century C046A is a heavy-duty Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor engineered for reliable performance in demanding HVAC and air-handling applications. Built around a 48Z NEMA frame with a totally enclosed, air-over (TEAO) design, this motor is well-suited for use in evaporator fan, condenser fan, and other air-movement applications where the motor is cooled by the airstream it drives.
