U.S. Motors 5862 – Rescue EZ16 OAO ECM Direct Drive Blower Motor, 1/2–1/3 HP, 208–230V
The U.S. Motors 5862 Rescue EZ16 is an ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) direct-drive blower motor designed for replacement and upgrade applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. With selectable horsepower (1/2 or 1/3 HP) and 1075 RPM fixed speed, this unit delivers reliable, energy-efficient airflow for systems originally equipped with PSC motors.
Its open air-over (OAO) construction, integrated control module, and multi-position mounting capability make it suitable for a variety of air handler and furnace applications where precise motor control and simplified retrofits are required.
