Why is my CaptiveAire Heater motor overloading?
- S
  Sandra MccoyAug 15, 2025
  A CaptiveAire Heater motor might overload due to several reasons: * Incorrect fan rotation: Verify the fan rotates in the direction shown on the rotation label. * Fan speed too high: Reduce fan RPM. * Incorrect motor wiring: Inspect and verify connections with the wiring diagram on the fan motor. * Overload in starter set too low: Set overload to the motor’s FLA value. * Motor HP too low: Determine if the HP is sufficient for the job. * Duct static pressure lower than design: Reduce fan RPM.
