This is an indication that the grounding is not adequate. Improper grounding is the major reason for variable speed motor failures. They must have a very good ground.

X13 motors aren't VS motors. They are constant torque motors though. But don't vary their speed like a VS motor does.

Re: The Variable Speed Blower


The X13 motor has the advantage of being a less expensive blower motor to operate and will operate constantly at a lower speed for constant air circulation, but those are limited benefits of what ECM motors are really capable of.

A variable speed motor is the same as the X13 motor, except that it has a lot more control features that can greatly increase comfort and overcome minor system issues.
