Old Elect. motor frame conversion to new ?

Dave J · Aug 2, 2006

Is there any place I can find a conversion for a old GE motor ?

The old one is a Westinghouse frame FR DU48, type FLL,1/3 Hp, 3 speed, 1050 RPM, 110 VAC, S#321 P 141.

It is a long shaft 3 speed blower motor. I cannot find a cross or replacement. It looks like a standard blower motor, but I cannot find the cross.

Thanks for any help.

That's furnace/air handle motor right?

You get these from Grainger or Johnstone. Don't try to use general purpose motors in this application. It's a HUGE PITA to get them mounted right and they never run as quietly as the factory replacements.

And by the way, which is it? "... a conversion for a old GE motor?" or "the old one is a Westinghouse frame FR DU48..."

I'm sure the usual sources or a HVAC shop can get you a direct replacement motor.

OOPS !
It is a Westinghouse, I had a brain lapse. looking through the grainger book did it.

I always like to get the right number myself, seems like I end up with the new kid at the counter. And he will pull out a 5Hp 3 phase, and tell me it WILL work. Or the guy that doesn't want to look, and says it's obsolete, no replacement.......

Thanks
