ELECTRONICALLY COMMUTATED MOTORS Part 2: Constant …

Constant -AIRFLOW, VARIABLE-SPEED (OEM)INDOOR BLOWER ECMsTheconstant-airflow(variable-speed) ECM wasintroduced in 1987 by GE (rebranded Genteq in2009). It was the first and only indoor blower ECMuntil the introduction of the Constant -torque ECM in2006. The term variable-speed motor was coined inthe late 1980s. By function it is a Constant -airflowmotor. Both of these terms define the type or style of ECM and how it is programmed to MOTORS are built in 1 3-, 1 2-, 3 4-, and 1-hp sizes, and only in direct-drive MOTORS have gone through many generationalimprovements in their more than 20 years ofexistence, including advances in reliability andcommunication formats, as well as changes in theirphysical appearance.
