SP4 General Purpose - Enclosed motor

SP4 NEMA Super Premium enclosed motors can be used indoor or outdoor with moderate dust and water for general purpose applications.

The Next Evolution in Electric Motors

Leading the way in energy efficiency yet again, Baldor-Reliance® SP4™ motors give you a path to energy savings that makes a difference to your bottom line. These motors achieve NEMA Super Premium efficiency across-the-line, independently of a drive. DOL or inverter duty, runs cooler, longer and quieter – now with a 48-month warranty.

 

The idea is simple. Take the best and proven AC induction design and make it better by reducing motor losses by an average of 20% while maintaining the simplicity of today's installed base of AC induction motors.

Explore the key features and benefits

ABB’s SP4 technology meets the NEMA Super Premium® efficiency level in a standard AC induction motor design operating across the line, independently of a variable speed drive.*

Large install base

There are more than 300 million industrial motor-driven systems in operation worldwide; and roughly 80% of motors still operate DOL (direct on line).

Lower energy costs

NEMA Super Premium® (comparable to IEC’s IE4 efficiency) can offer up to 40% lower energy loss in comparison with a NEMA standard efficient (IE2) induction motor.

Cooler running

Able to achieve cooler running operation for longer life which means longer bearing life. This translates to longer motor life and industry-leading 4-year warranty.

Inverter Duty

Suitable for inverter use per NEMA MG1 Part 31.4.4.2

Drop-in Design

Shortcut your energy savings with an easy drop-in design to your existing motor
