  Motor Information




Superior protection measures ensure double reliability
The motor of any pump is as vital for operation as the pump itself. This is precisely the reason why Grundfos offers a large range of highly efficient and technically advanced motors. Each motor is perfectly adapted to the individual pump design in order to achieve optimal balance between performance, efficiency, and long-time running costs of the pump.
The table below provides an overview of the motor variants and designs that Grundfos offers for custom-built pumps. The list should not be regarded as complete. A multitude of special designs and motor features can be made available upon request.
If our standard solutions do not meet your needs we can create a customized solution based on your specifications. Please contact your local Grundfos company with full details of your requirements.

VARIANTDESCRIPTION
AVAILABLE FOR MODELS
Different motor brand




If technically possible, Grundfos can fit the pump with a motor of a brand other than the standard. This will normally increase the time of delivery. Alternatively, the pump can be supplied without a motor.
0 -60 HP
Different position of motor

Where possible, the terminal box can be placed on either side of the pump.
0 -60 HP
Explosion-proof motor

For operation in hazardous atmospheres.
1 - 30 HP
4 - Pole motorsFor areas where a lower noise level is required and applications with poor inlet conditions (low NPSHa)
Different enclosure class





As standard, Grundfos can supply:
  • TEFC: Totally enclosed fan-cooled
    On request, we can supply:
    • Chemical processing/mill and chem duty
    • Washdown duty (Up through 10 hp only)
    • ODP: Open drip-proof

speed drive

All Grundfos CR pumps below 15 HP are available as standard with an integrated variable speed drive (type MLE) motor.
^
Special supply voltage

Motors suitable for other voltages are
available upon request.

^
Efficiency class 1 motorMotors with efficiency classification 1 (according to CEMEP, Eff 1) are available.
^
Oversized motor

Ambient temperatures above 104° F or installation at altitudes of more than 3,300 feet above sea level require the use of an oversized motor (i.e. derating).
^
Tropicalized windings

Motors recommended or operating in
areas with high humidity.
^
Wye/Delta starting
