The 600 RPM motor is exceptionally energy efficient – reducing motor losses (wasted energy) by as much as 50%. Overall energy usage is reduced by 4% to 20%, depending on operating speeds, with the largest percentage savings at partial rated speed. Additionally, these models have significantly lower current requirements (FLA) than AC induction motor alternatives, often reducing the costs of the associated variable frequency drives and auxiliary electrical components.
NovaTorque’s patented geometry allows for the use of readily available, low cost, ferrite (versus rare earth) magnets. NovaTorque motor pricing is more comparable to induction motors than to conventional permanent magnet motors – delivering rapid payback via reduced energy bills.
NovaTorque motors are produced in standard NEMA frame sizes for easy substitution.
