Fan Motors and Drives
When installing motors in the field, locate the electrical junction
box toward the center of the unit. This arrangement is required for
correct belt tension. Use the smallest mounting holes in the
mounting base that will accommodate the motor and provide min
-
imum overhang.
Tighten the motor holddown bolts. Refer to Table 6 for fan scroll
inlet cone dimensions.
JUNCTION BOX CONDENSATE PREVENTION
When air handlers are installed outdoors in a high humidity envi
-
ronment or indoors where the apparatus room is used as a fresh air
plenum, precautions must be taken to prevent condensation from
forming inside the junction box of the internally mounted motor.
Standard installation practice is to mount the motor starter or fused
disconnect box adjacent to the air handler and enclose the power
wiring to the motor in flexible conduit.
The sheet metal housing of the disconnect switch or motor starter
is not airtight (even when a box meeting NEMA [National Electri
-
cal Manufacturers Association] IV standards is used). Thus, warm
moist air can migrate through the flexible conduit to the junction
box on the motor. With the motor located inside the unit, the motor
temperature is that of the cool supply air, so condensate can form
inside the junction box and, possibly, on the live terminal lugs.
To prevent the moist air from migrating through the conduit to the
motor, seal the power wires inside the flexible conduit at the motor
starter or fused disconnect (Fig. 53).
Use a nonconductive, non-hardening sealant. Permagum (manu
-
factured by Schnee Morehead) or sealing compound, thumb grade
(manufactured by Calgon), are acceptable materials.
Motor Power Wiring
The fan section is provided with a decal indicating the recom
-
mended location to drill or punch hole(s) to accommodate an elec
-
trical conduit for the fan-motor wiring. The decal is located on the
motor side, approximately 4 in. in from the side and 4 in. down
from the top of the corner above where the motor will be installed.
Where possible, the conduit should be installed in a panel which
will not be removed, such as the discharge panel.
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Fan-motor starters and overload protectors are field-supplied and
installed. A label on the fan motor indicates the correct size of the
overload protectors required to be installed in the motor starter.
Sheaves
Factory-supplied drives are pre-aligned and tensioned. However,
Carrier recommends checking the belt tension and alignment be
-
fore starting the unit. Always check the drive alignment after ad
-
justing belt tension.
To install sheaves on the fan or motor shaft, remove any rust-pre
-
ventive coating on the shaft. Make sure the shaft is clean and free
of burrs. Add grease or lubricant to bore of sheave before install
-
ing. Mount sheave on the shaft; to prevent bearing damage, do not
use excessive force (i.e., a hammer). Place sheaves for minimum
overhang (see Fig. 54).
Each factory-assembled fan, shaft, and drive sheave assembly is
precision aligned and balanced. If excessive unit vibration occurs
after field replacement of sheaves, the unit should be rebalanced.
To change the drive ratio, reselect and replace the motor sheave,
not the fan sheave.
After 24 hours of unit operation, the drive belts may stretch.
Check the belt tension after 24 hours of operation and adjust if
necessary. Periodically check belt tension throughout the run-in
period, which is normally the initial 72 hours of operation.
