Save energy with this new synchronous motor
With ratings at IE 4 and IE 5, the SynRA (photo) is a patent-pending synchronous motor that, when paired with the company’s ID300 Perfectspeed integrated drive, is said to offer one of the highest efficiencies available for today’s industrial and commercial pumping and HVAC equipment. In addition to significant energy savings, this new technology offers the advantage of easy motor replacement, without having to install an entirely new system and controls, saving time and money. SynRA provides the operating benefit of a pure synchronous reluctance motor, and suitability benefit from a simple volts/Hz drive. The product’s Smart Technology results in less wear and tear on blower or pump systems by matching application demands with variable speed. — Nidec Motor Corp., St. Louis, Mo.
