TOTALINE® P257-E5460 Multi-Horsepower Direct Drive Blower Motor – 1/6 to 1/2 HP, 115 VAC, 1,075 RPM, 4-Speed PSC

The Versatile Universal Air Circulation Solution

The TOTALINE® P257-E5460 is a highly adaptable, multi-horsepower direct-drive blower motor engineered to simplify HVAC repairs by replacing a wide range of single-horsepower units. As an official OEM Totaline component for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment, this Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor features a selectable horsepower range from 1/6 HP up to 1/2 HP. Designed for universal application, it acts as a primary "rescue" motor for residential furnaces and air handlers, utilizing advanced internal logic to match the airflow requirements of various system sizes while maintaining original manufacturer performance standards. 

Key Features

• Multi-Horsepower Part Number: The P257-E5460 is engineered to cover five different power ratings (1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2 HP) in a single unit, drastically reducing the need for multiple replacement part inventories.
• Selectable 4-Speed Design: Features four distinct speed taps, allowing technicians to precisely tune CFM delivery for optimal heating and cooling performance across different system tonnages.
• Automatic Dual Rotation: Includes reversible rotation capability with easy-to-use reversing plugs, ensuring compatibility with virtually any blower housing orientation.
• OEM Safety & Overload Protection: Equipped with an automatic reset thermal overload protector that safeguards the motor windings from overheating during high-static or restricted airflow conditions.
• Universal Mounting Fit: Features extended thru-bolts and a standard 48Y NEMA frame, allowing for easy installation using existing OEM torsion flex, cradle, or belly-band brackets.

🛠️ HVAC Depot Pro Tip

"Size Your Capacitor to Your Selection." Because the P257-E5460 is a multi-horsepower motor, the required capacitance may change based on which horsepower lead you utilize. Always check the wiring diagram on the side of the motor shell to confirm if you need a 5 MFD, 7.5 MFD, or 10 MFD capacitor for your specific application. Additionally, ensure the extended thru-bolts are trimmed if they interfere with the blower wheel, and always use a new run capacitor to prevent the motor from running at excessive temperatures and tripping its thermal limit.
