Nord brings more efficiency for simple motor applications

The new single-phase asynchronous motor from Nord Drivesystems not only has a new design but also features an improved efficiency by one efficiency class. It will meet the needs of applications in the construction, food and agricultural industries as well as amusement park operators.

The new single-phase asynchronous motor can be used in a power range from 0.12 to 1.5 kW as before, but now corresponds to efficiency class IE2 according to the Ecodesign Regulation 2019/1781. A new electronic relay replaces the previous mechanical one.

The design was also refreshed and the capacitors are mounted in the terminal box. Therefore, the motor now also complies with protection class IP66, and is protected against the entry of dust and water.

“For simple applications, for example in mobile concrete mixers or pumps, our revised single-phase asynchronous motors are a cost-effective and efficient drive solution,” emphasises Jörg Niermann, head of marketing at Nord.

The motor is approved for use in many regions of the world thanks to certification according to the European CE mark, the Chinese CCC standard and the UKCA mark for Great Britain.
