Hi, Chris from Regal Rexnord here with your Motor Minute technical tip. Helping you become an HVAC motor pro one minute at a time.

Today’s Motor Minute topic is Evergreen® Motors Debunked 2.0.

Whether you are just learning about Evergreen universal replacement motors or have used them for years, I think you will find this information very enlightening.

Evergreen universal replacement motors provide solutions for replacing PSC and ECM motors in HVAC applications. Let’s take a deeper dive to learn more.

Evergreen IM and OM motors are designed to replace PSC motors.

The next generation of the Evergreen OM motor was launched in 2024.

• Universal replacement for PSC outdoor condensing fan motors
• Stock # 6303S
• Reduced end shield to end shield length to fit more applications
• Installs just like a PSC motor
• Three OEM mounting options
• Simplified wiring harness
• Connects just like a PSC motor
• No programming
• No capacitor required

The Evergreen^® OM motor is versatility and simplicity at its best!!!

1 motor replaces 28 PSC ratings:

• 48 Frame
• Shaft down and horizontal applications
• 208 – 230 VAC
• 1/3 – 1/12 HP
• CW / CCW
• 825 and 1075 RPM

Evergreen IM motors easily replace PSC indoor blower motors rated:

• 115/230 VAC
• 48 Frame
• CCW or CW
• 1 – 1/5 HP
• 1075 RPM

The Evergreen IM motor is also a valuable addition to HVAC systems with IAQ devices, increasing operating time with quiet continuous fan operation, while using up to 75% less energy than PSC motors.

Evergreen EM and VS motors are both designed to replace ECM indoor blower motors.

Evergreen EM motors replace standard 9-terminal constant torque ECM indoor blower motors including Genteq^®, US Motors^®* and Broad Ocean^®* motors, as well as constant torque ECM motors with non-standard connections such as Genteq Ensite^® and Broad Ocean leads out motors.

With dual voltage capability and the largest volume of OEM ECM motors in ½ and ¾ horsepower ratings, 2 Evergreen EM motors on the truck will greatly increase your first call completions.

Evergreen VS motors replace Genteq^® constant airflow (also referred to as variable speed) ECM indoor blower motors including formerly branded GE^®* products going back to 1992.

Replacing Genteq^® constant airflow (variable speed) ECM motors from truck stock is now a reality. With dual voltage capability and the largest volume of OEM ECM motors in ½ and ¾ horsepower ratings, 2 Evergreen VS motors on the truck will greatly increase your first call completions.
