PremiumPlus+ Motors
Electronically Commutated
Permanent Magnet (ECPM) Motors

NovaTorque motors are Electronically Commutated Permanent Magnet (ECPM)

motors, also referred to as PMAC (Permanent Magnet AC) Motors, designed for
variable speed applications. Like all PM motors they are inherently more efficient than
induction motors, and that efficiency advantage expands under partial load. Unlike
conventional PM motors, NovaTorques unique patented rotor and stator geometry
focuses magnetic flux, allowing the use of low cost ferrite, versus rare earth, magnets.
Hence NovaTorque motors are priced to provide extraordinarily rapid payback on the
initial investment.

Compatible Variable
Frequency Drives
(VFDs)
Like all permanent magnet
motors, NovaTorque motors
require a VFD to operate. Virtually
all leading manufacturers of VFDs
produce versions capable of
sensorless control of PM motors.
