OEM Replacement for Carrier/BDP Systems
The FASCO D459 is a new condenser fan motor built as a direct replacement for Carrier and BDP equipment. It matches the original AB1S029 specifications with a shaded-pole design rated at 1/15 hp and a nameplate speed of 3,000 RPM. The motor operates on single-phase power at 230/460V AC and carries full-load ratings of 1.2 and 0.60 amps respectively. It is intended for HVAC technicians and facility maintenance teams who need an exact-fit component for existing condenser units.
Voltage Constraints and Frame Limits
The motor is usable at 208V but not at 200V, so supply voltage must be verified before installation. It runs at 60 Hz with a service factor of 1.0 and automatic thermal protection in insulation class B. Maximum ambient temperature is 40 degrees C. The 3.3 frame size and open air-over enclosure dictate the physical fit, while the single-speed, clockwise shaft rotation (CWSE) and stud mounting pattern fix the mechanical interface.
Upgrading from Failed Shaded-Pole Units
This unit replaces a failed shaded-pole condenser motor of the same horsepower, frame and voltage rating. The jump is worth it when the original motor has overheated, lost speed or tripped its thermal protector repeatedly. It restores the original airflow without redesigning the mounting or wiring. Buyers who need variable-speed operation, a different frame size or 200V compatibility cannot use this model.

Questions about this item
Which FASCO D459 voltage option suits my Carrier or BDP unit?
The motor runs on 230 V or 460 V AC and is also usable at 208 V; it is not rated for 200 V supplies.
What does the 1/15 hp rating deliver in a condenser fan?
At 3,000 RPM the shaded-pole motor provides 1/15 hp with a 1.0 service factor, drawing 1.2 A at 230 V or 0.60 A at 460 V.
Will the 3.3 frame and stud mounting fit my existing housing?
The 3.3 frame uses a stud mount pattern and a clockwise shaft rotation viewed from the shaft end; verify those match the original AB1S029 motor.
