Description
The Century FY3106 is a heavy-duty, three-phase electric motor engineered for demanding HVAC and industrial air-movement applications. Built around a Totally Enclosed Air Over (TEAO) design, this motor is purpose-built for use in airstreams — such as condenser fans and evaporator fans — where the motor body is cooled by the airflow it drives rather than an internal fan.
