PennBarry 56344-0 Motor 8/100Hp 115V 1050/1550RPM

The PennBarry 56344-0 motor is a multi-speed electric motor found in HVAC equipment, particularly exhaust fans and blower fans. These fans play a critical role in moving air throughout the system. In exhaust fans, the motor helps remove combustion gases from the furnace by spinning the inducer fan within the flue pipe. Blower fans, powered by this motor, circulate conditioned air throughout the ductwork, delivering warm or cool air to your home depending on the season. The PennBarry 56344-0 motor is a single-phase motor designed to operate on a standard 115-volt electrical circuit. Its unique feature is the selectable speed of either 1050 RPM or 1550 RPM. This allows for adjusting airflow depending on your specific needs. The motor has a low horsepower rating of 8/100 HP, making it suitable for driving smaller fans. It operates at a standard frequency of 60Hz and weighs approximately 7.45 pounds. By offering variable speeds, the PennBarry 56344-0 motor provides flexibility in airflow control within the HVAC system. This can be beneficial for optimizing comfort and efficiency. For instance, a higher speed might be ideal for quickly heating or cooling a space, while a lower speed can provide quieter operation during extended periods.
