Target Applications & Sectors

Centrifugal and submersible borehole water pumpsIndustrial ventilation fans, blowers & cooling towersGrain milling, tea sorting & coffee pulping machineryBelt conveyors, bucket elevators & screw augersAir compressors, vacuum pumps & hydraulic power packsStone crushers, concrete mixers & mining equipment

Electricity accounts for over 95% of a motor’s total lifecycle cost. An IE3 motor reduces electrical losses by 15% to 25%, paying for the price difference in electricity savings within 6 to 12 months of continuous operation.

Yes. All our three-phase motors feature Class F/H insulation and VPI treatment suitable for VFD inverter operation. For motors 75 kW and above, we provide insulated non-drive end bearings to eliminate shaft circulating currents.
