ANSI Categories of Appliances Gas Appliances *Categories. Vented gas appliances are classified for venting purposes into four categories as follows: Category I Category II Category III Category IV * The following Category definitions apply to the appliance and do not necessarily reflect the performance of the connected vent system. 5

Category I An appliance that operates with a non-positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent. May include draft hood and fan-assisted appliances. Vented with Class B or a lined masonry chimney system if allowed by local codes. These systems have AFUE ratings of 55 70% for older furnaces, boilers, and water heaters, and up to 78 82% for newer systems. Venting to be done with Gas Appliance Manufacturer s Association (GAMA) tables, or the manufacturer s instructions: whatever your local code requires. 6

Category II An appliance that operates with a non-positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent. 7

Category III An appliance that operates with a positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent. 8

Category IV An appliance that operates with a positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent. These appliances are typically 87 97% efficient and are vented with plastic, stainless steel, or a material which is other than Class B or masonry. Vent installation must follow manufacturer s instructions: GAMA does not apply. 9

GE ECM / Regal-Beloit / Genteq About the Company In 1987 General Electric introduced ECM technology to the residential HVAC industry. This technology is predominantly used in variable speed indoor blower motors, constant speed induced draft motors and condensing fan motors. These innovative motors changed the industry by providing unmatched efficiency as well as comfort options not possible with PSC induction motors. In 2004 the Regal Beloit Corporation acquired General Electric s Commercial and HVACR Motors and Capacitors businesses with the right to use the GE brand through 2009. These divisions were named GE ECM by Regal Beloit, GE Commercial Motors by Regal Beloit and GE Capacitors by Regal Beloit. In 2009, Regal Beloit announced the rebranding of those GE branded businesses under the name Genteq, 45

ECM Electronically Commutated Motor Provides constant air flow (CFM) by adjusting speed and torque of motor as static pressure changes. Will not overcome more than approximately.9 in w.c. Uses less electricity than shaded-pole or permanent split capacitor (psc) motors. Can be programmed by the O.E.M. to provide low speed constant fan operation. Is a 3-phase motor which runs off single-phase power. May be 120V or 240V. 50

Constant Fan Factory programmed to operate at about 50% to 60% of cooling CFM. Operation selected by the consumer at the thermostat ( FAN ON ). Typically operates at 60-90 Watts vs. Induction motor at approx. 400-700 watts. Provides continuous air filtration and more even air temperatures from room to room (de-stratifies the air). In some climates constant fan is not recommended due to re-humidification. 51

Power The motor will operate properly with input power ±15% of nominal. Low voltage will effect motor performance but will not harm the motor. Motor may turn on and off if voltage is too low. The motor control is connected to line voltage at all times. Standby power on average is approximately 2-3 watts. 53

The Line Voltage (high voltage) Power Connection The 120vac input uses a jumper (red wire) The 240vac input does not use a jumper Caution: proper jumper connection is required. 5-pin Power connector Courtesy of: GE ECM by Regal-Beloit 54

About The Jumper The motor will operate from an input voltage of 120/240vac When 240vac is used for input power, the jumper must be removed. Caution: If the jumper is not removed when 240vac is applied to the motor control, the motor will be permanently damaged. 55

The ECM Technology (overview) The ECM motor is a brushless DC, Three - phase motor with a permanent magnet rotor. Motor phases are sequentially energized by the electronic control, powered from a single-phase supply. Input power supply 120/240vac (Caution: proper jumper connection) Motor control converts AC power to DC power Motor control determines speed and torque to maintain airflow to OEM specifications Motor control converts DC power back to AC three-phase power for motor operation ECM - Electronically Commutated Motor Models 2.3 & 2.5 Courtesy of: GE ECM by Regal-Beloit 58

Checking the motor control and motor module TECInspect 67

Motor Module Tests Test A measure the resistance between each of the 3 motor leads to the unpainted part of the end shield. If the motor fails (the resistance is <100k ohms) then replace the motor module with the equivalent. If the motor module passes (the resistance is >100k ohms) then perform Test B. Courtesy of: GE ECM by Regal-Beloit 68

Motor Module Tests Test B measure the motor phase-to-phase resistance by checking these combinations of the 3-pin motor connector with an ohmmeter. For the purpose of this test, start at either end of the connector as Lead 1. 1. The lead to lead resistance across any two leads should be less than 20 ohms. 2. Each lead to lead resistance should be the same within ± 10%. If the measured resistance is outside the range, then the motor module needs to be replaced with an equivalent. Courtesy of: GE ECM by Regal-Beloit Lead 1 to Lead 2 Lead 1 to Lead 3 Lead 2 to Lead 3 69

When replacing the motor module Make sure the belly band is not covering any vents Control module orientation may dictate motor orientation Tighten the wheel key on flat side of motor shaft with wheel centered If the wheel sits too close to the motor when centered or cannot be centered because it hits the motor, the motor must be adjusted in the belly band Courtesy of: GE ECM by Regal-Beloit 70

Attaching the new control module Insert the 3-pin connector back into the new control module. A slight click will be heard when inserted properly. If replacing an ECM 2.0 control with an ECM 2.3 control, insert plastic tab Into perimeter of replacement control and align tab with mating hole in the end shield. Use the new shorter bolts provided to ensure a secure attachment. Orient the Control to the end shield between 4 & 8 o clock, insert bolts and tighten. Courtesy of: GE ECM by Regal-Beloit 71

Attaching the new control module Cont. If replacing an ECM 2.3 with an ECM 2.3, orient the new control to the motor s end shield with connectors facing down, insert bolts and tighten. Reinstall the blower/motor assembly into the HVAC system by following the manufacturer s guidelines. Plug the 16-pin connector and the 5- pin connector back into the motor. Make sure the keyed connectors are inserted properly and securely until they click. Courtesy of: GE ECM by Regal-Beloit 72

Be certain to form a drip-loop so that water cannot enter the motor by draining down the cables. Condensate or droplets can accumulate in the harness and may find their way into the motor. Final installation check. Ensure the system is setup as follows: (a) (b) (c) (d) Verify the condensate drain is not plugged or clogged. Reconnect the AC power to the HVAC system and verify that the new motor control module is working properly. Check and plug leaks in return ducts and equipment cabinet. The system should run quietly and smoothly. Courtesy of: GE ECM by Regal-Beloit Note: If this is a repeat failure, then it is important that you check the following: Any evidence of moisture requires correcting the issue. If this area is subject to high amounts of lightning strikes, the use of additional transient protection may be helpful. Visit www.thedealertoolbox.com to learn more. 73

Using Temp. Rise To Calculate CFM BTU Output Of Furnace CFM = ----------------------------------------- 1.08 X Temp. Rise Rules: limit must not cycle the burners off at any time, altitude of installation is between 0 and 1,000 feet above sea level, input is set precisely according to manufacturer s instructions (proper manifold pressure and orifice size), 86

CFM Example After the supply temperature stabilizes, your supply temperature is 106 O F and the return air temperature is 65 O F. Furnace is 80,000 input (gas pressure and orifices are correct), 72,000 output. Temperature rise shown on the rating plate is 35 65 O F. Question: is the temperature rise O.K.? 87

Example Continued Yes! Calculate CFM Do this math first. CFM = Output (1.08 X Temp. Rise) = 72,000 (1.08 X 41) = 72,000 44.28 = 1,626.02 88
