•Industry requires improved motor power density and increased efficiency
•Permanent Magnet Motors meet these needs
–Due to dramatic improvements in PM materials, these types of motors are now viable alternatives to standard induction motors
–Laminated RPM-AC frame allows more room for active material creating a power dense package
–Frame construction improves thermal transfer and heat dissipation capability of the motor
–Efficiency of PM motors is a band level higher than induction cast iron frame motors
•Mechanical Advantages:
–RPM-AC motors run at slow speed eliminating excessive vibration from the system
–Noise levels for PM motors are reduced over the traditional cooling tower design
–Baldor Cooling Tower Motor requires less maintenance
•Bearing lubrication once per year
