Armstrong Furnace R46930-001 Inducer Motor Assembly 1/20Hp 208-230V

The Armstrong Furnace R46930-001 Inducer Motor Assembly, despite its lightweight design (only 5.36 lbs), is a vital component within residential gas furnaces. Operating on a standard voltage range of 208-230 volts AC, it delivers a modest 1/20 horsepower (HP) but plays a critical role in the safe and efficient operation of your furnace. This motor assembly spins at a high speed of 3000 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). A traditional blower motor that circulates air throughout your home, the Inducer Motor Assembly focuses on creating a safe and optimal environment for combustion within your furnace. It directly connects to a small fan blade assembly that draws air from the surrounding environment. This airflow serves two key purposes. First, it supplies the burners with the oxygen they need for efficient combustion. Secondly, it helps safely vent combustion gases out of your home through the flue pipe. Replacing a worn-out Armstrong Furnace R46930-001 Inducer Motor Assembly can significantly improve the performance and safety of your furnace. A properly functioning inducer motor ensures a steady supply of oxygen for clean and efficient fuel burning, reducing the risk of incomplete combustion and potential hazards like carbon monoxide production. Additionally, it efficiently vents exhaust gases, improving indoor air quality and the overall safety of your home.
