X13 motor to PSC

[Snapperhead]

Heil with 1hp blower motor 220v

Gentec ...5SME39S XL129

They said Wed delivery... Shit

Anybody know if i can just swap a 1hp psc in there ?

[ksefan]

I don’t see why not, 90-370 and some wire.

Sure can, add a relay with the PSC and you will be back in business.
I have done it a few times when in a pinch or when customer can not afford $$$ OEM motor.

Century sells an X-13 replacement that gets programmed.

Cheaper than OEM.

Tomorrow at 7:30 at United?

[Snapperhead]

So I called united today , got a different person who was like , well you can buy a 1hp psc for three bones , OR we stock an aftermarket ECM for three bones

Ok cool , now how come the other worker bee didnt mention this aftermarket one yesterday ????

[timebuilder]

Yeah that's the Century motor that United carries. They should have something right on the shelf.... and make sure you ask about programming it to the use profile.

[timebuilder]

If you think these guys are having trouble matching you up with the correct part, just call the Century customer service number and ask to talk to one of their application guys, because they are intimately familiar with what United has in stock as a general rule.

Well , by the time I got around to replacing it , tech support was closed

I held the wiring harnesses next to each other and Nothing matches ( oh shit )

Pull out the soaking wet manual from unit , nothing in there but a ladder diagram

So I began tracing wires out , and thankfully a bunch were not even used

Apparently this aftermarket ECM was specifically for replacing a PSC motor ( that took me a minute )

Now after getting everything hooked up , the only wire I couldnt find a home for was the "120v to psc motor contactor relay "

Soooooo I hooked the Indoor blower 220 power to the compressor contactor ... Plus the "120v psc motor relay " wire to that same contactor as well ....

It works

[timebuilder]

The Century X-13 replacement is intended to replace an existing, failed X-13.

[Snapperhead]

nothing matches which made it fun
