Carrier Blower Motor HD46AQ288

Carrier / Bryant / Payne HD46AQ288 Blower Motor | 3/4 HP ECM OEM

The Carrier HD46AQ288 is a genuine factory-authorized variable-speed blower motor. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component, it is designed specifically for high-efficiency Carrier and Bryant furnaces and air handlers to provide the high-torque, precision airflow required for larger residential systems.

This 3/4 HP motor operates on 208-230V single-phase power. Utilizing an integrated electronic controller, this ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) modulates its speed dynamically to maintain a constant CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), ensuring your home stays comfortable even as your air filters become restricted. Choosing this genuine Factory Authorized Part ensures the motor's programmed logic matches your system's original safety and performance specifications.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose a Genuine Carrier OEM ECM Motor?

• Optimized Comfort: Variable-speed operation allows for lower-speed continuous fan modes, which improves air filtration and prevents the "blast" of cold air common with single-speed systems.
• Intelligent Airflow: The motor automatically adjusts its torque to maintain the programmed airflow, even as static pressure increases due to a dirty air filter, keeping your system's heat exchange balanced.
• Quiet Operation: Features soft-start and soft-stop ramp profiles, which eliminate the abrupt noise associated with motors turning on and off at full power.
• Precision Programming: Comes pre-loaded with the specific airflow logic required for your Carrier/Bryant equipment, ensuring the heat exchanger does not overheat and the evaporator coil does not freeze.
