Fasco A143 Clockwise Inducer Motor 115V 3000RPM
The Regal Rexnord - Fasco A143 Clockwise Inducer Motor is a crucial component within your gas-fired furnace, ensuring safe and efficient operation. Unlike blower motors that circulate air throughout your living space, inducer motors have a specific function. This single-phase motor operates on standard household current (115 volts) and has a modest horsepower rating of 1/50 horsepower (HP). Despite the lower horsepower, it spins efficiently at a high speed of 3000 revolutions per minute (RPM) in a clockwise direction. The A143 Clockwise Inducer Motor creates airflow within the furnace. This airflow serves two critical purposes:
Combustion Support: The motor draws in fresh air from the surrounding environment. This incoming air mixes with the natural gas supply to create a proper air-fuel mixture for clean and efficient burning within the furnace.
Safe Venting: The induced airflow helps vent combustion gases safely out of the appliance and your home. This prevents the buildup of harmful gases like carbon monoxide, ensuring the safe operation of your heating system. Replacing a worn-out A143 Clockwise Inducer Motor can significantly improve the performance and safety of your gas furnace. A properly functioning motor ensures proper air intake for efficient combustion and complete venting of exhaust gases. This translates to cleaner and more efficient operation of your furnace, while also prioritizing safety within your home. At a lightweight 5.34 pounds, the A143 is easy to handle and install within compatible furnaces. Remember to consult your specific unit's manual for compatibility information before ordering.
