Packard Split Phase Motors

Overview

The PACKARD gf2054 is a belt drive furnace blower motor rated at 1/2 horsepower and 1725 RPM, built on a 48 frame with a split phase design. It is intended for residential and light commercial forced-air heating systems where belt drive blower assemblies are used. Licensed HVAC technicians install this motor as a direct replacement when the original motor fails due to winding failure, bearing wear, or thermal overload. The split phase configuration suits the intermittent duty cycle typical of furnace blower applications, and the 48 frame is a widely standardized mount dimension across belt drive blower assemblies. This motor fits belt drive blower sections in gas furnaces and other forced-air systems that use a 48 frame motor mount. It is a cross-reference replacement for Century and AO Smith model GF2054, Dayton model 4UE85, and Packard model 45012. Typical install scenarios include older residential furnaces and commercial rooftop or split systems with belt drive squirrel-cage blower wheels. This replacement is suitable wherever the original belt drive motor has reached end of service life.
