3-10HP EC Motor and Integrated Variable Frequency Drive

Horsepower: 3-10HP
Phases: T
 hree Phase
Enclosures: Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled
Efficiency Levels: NEMA Premium and IE4
Mounting: NEMA and IEC

Product Overview and Features

The U.S. MOTORS® brand 3-10HP electronically commutated
(EC) motor with an IE4 (Super Premium efficiency) rating is
integrated with a tuned, on board Variable Frequency Drive
(VFD). This motor is a member of the ACCU-SERIES line of
variable speed products.
The 3-10HP is the only integrated EC motor on the market that is
rated IE4, satisfying the growing demand from commercial and
industrial users for high efficiencies and a quicker return on
investment in the form of electricity savings. The new integrated
motor and drive is designed with ferrite magnets rather than rare
earth magnets for more consistent pricing and cost structure.
The Brushless Permanent Magnet motor (BPM) and drive have
an integrated user interface that allows for easy setup. The
product is simpler than a modular approach, and it reduces costs
and lead-time by eliminating cabling between motor and
separate control. It also reduces electromagnetic interference
(EMI) and corona, which can result in power loss and interfere
with performance.
The motor is designed to mount in all standard NEMA or IEC
mechanicals/constructions, has an IP54 rating, and can replace
an induction motor and off the shelf drive. No customer
connection is required.
