SuPremE IE5 Pump Motors

High Efficiency Synchronous Reluctance Motors

Efficient Electric Motors

Technology description

The KSB SuPremE motor is a Synchronous Reluctance Motor optimized for centrifugal pump applications in combination with the KSB PumpDrive variable speed drive. It is the most efficient pump motor without permanent magnets in the world. SuPremE motors can save up to 15% energy and CO₂ in comparison with standard motors with speed control and up to 70% in comparison with fixed speed asynchronous motors.
