    High-Efficiency IE5 Motor and VFD

    April 29, 2020
    Nord Gear showcases its newest high-efficiency motor and variable frequency drive combination to deliver operating cost savings regardless of the motor's speed and load.

    Jim Alt explains Nord Gear's new IE5 motor and variable frequency drive. These IE5 motors operate at high efficiency even at reduced speeds and with reduced loads. In this video, Alt explains the efficiency of these IE5 motors compared to typical premium efficiency motors. This capability allows users to save money even while operating the motor at the speed and load needed, not just at maximum capacity to get the high efficiency cost savings benefit.
