Another one of our motor manufacturer partners, US Motors/Nidec, exhibited at AHR 2018 near us and we paid them a visit.
VariTough® Inverter Duty Motors are designed for commercial condenser units operating on VFDs. These motors operate in a multi-motor environment with one VFD. The motors are designed to meet NEMA MG1-Part 31 design guidelines.
VariTough motors offer an effective solution to protect the bearings where shaft voltage discharge may be an issue. Each motor has an AEGIS® SGR Bearing Protection Ring mounted on the motor. The SGR provides charge on the shaft with an alternative path to ground, a safe path that doesn't lead through the bearings. The ring is factory-installed on the VariTough motors and is also sold separately as an accessory kit. See this brochure for additional information.
