Carrier HC30CQ460 Draft Inducer Motor 1/16 HP 460V

The Carrier HC30CQ460 is a draft inducer motor designed for use in Carrier commercial and residential HVAC systems. Operating at 460 VAC with a 1/16 HP output, this motor drives the inducer fan to create the necessary airflow for combustion and proper exhaust venting in gas furnaces and air handlers.

The draft inducer motor plays a critical role in safe system operation by drawing combustion gases out of the heat exchanger and expelling them through the flue, preventing harmful gases from entering occupied spaces.
