Carrier HC30GL460 Draft Inducer Motor 460V 1/16HP

The Carrier HC30GL460 is a draft inducer motor, which is an essential component in gas-fired HVAC systems. It's a little electric motor that is critical to the safe and effective operation of the furnace. The motor runs at 3450 RPM, is supplied by a 460V electrical source, and draws only 1/16 horsepower. It is suitable for both 50Hz and 60Hz electrical systems and weighs around 6 pounds. The draft inducer motor, located inside the furnace, generates airflow through the combustion chamber. This airflow has two purposes: it brings in fresh air for combustion and safely releases the exhaust gases produced during the heating process. The draft inducer motor prevents undesirable byproducts by ensuring a consistent flow of exhaust gases out of the furnace and into the flue. like carbon monoxide from accumulating inside your home. In short, it keeps your furnace running safely and efficiently.
