Description
The Armstrong Furnace R46132-034 is a 3/4 horsepower Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM) designed for use in various HVAC equipment, including furnaces, air handlers, and rooftop units. It runs the blower fan that moves air around the heating or cooling system by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. Because ECM motors use permanent magnets and electronic controllers instead of standard PSC motors, homeowners can benefit in a number of ways. Among these are increased energy efficiency and lower energy consumption due to ECM motors’ ability to modify their speed in accordance with system demands. ECM motors also run much quieter than PSC motors, which contributes to a calmer atmosphere at home. Ultimately, because of the way they are made, ECM motors are less prone to wear and tear, which could help your HVAC system last longer.
