Nidec Launches SynRA, for the US Market, the World’s First Aluminum Cage-equipped, High-efficiency Synchronous Reluctance Motor that Achieves IE5, the Highest Level of the IEC Standard
Nidec Corporation recently announced that it has launched for the US market SynRA (Synchronous Reluctance Motor with Aluminum Cage Rotor), the world’s first aluminum cage-equipped, high-efficiency synchronous reluctance (SR) motor that combines an SR motor with the cage-type induction motor’s basic principles. The cage-type induction motor, used as a general-purpose motor for industrial applications, can be activated when connected to a commercial power supply. In addition, the motor, which does not require an inverter (the device to control rpm), does not cost a lot to introduce, and this is why it is used in fans, pumps, compressors, cranes, elevators, and many other industrial machines
