• RESCUE EcoTech® Outdoor 48 – Developed to stand up to harsh environments and temperatures found in outdoor condensing units. The RESCUE EcoTech Outdoor 48 EC Condenser Fan Motor is programmed to match the rotation and speed most preferred by major equipment manufacturers; and offers the flexibility for adjustment to speed and rotation. 
  
  
• SelecTech Motor® – The SelecTech Motor is a durable, easy-to-integrate Electrically commutated Motor (ECM) solution for high-efficient direct drive blower applications. The available nine discrete 24 volt tap settings are fully programmable on your assembly line for different airflow requirements. Rugged and simple to operate, the SelecTech motor is setting a new benchmark for reliable ECM technology. Includes 460V and dual shaft configurations.
  
  
• Gen 3 PERFECTSPEED®  Motor - The PerfectSpeed EC Motor system is the solution to meet the increasing demand for electrically commutated motors (ECM) in modern HAC and ventilation systems. With a wide range of control options, voltages and mechanical configurations (Constant CFM, Constant Torque, or Constant Speed), the PerfectSpeed motor offers the high efficiency and precise airflow control needed in a broad array of air-moving applications, all backed by Nidec's extensive ECM experience and close application support.

• Gen 3 EcoTech EC Motor - Upgrade to the performance and efficiency of an EC motor without redesigning systems! The ECOTECH® Line Voltage EC Motor provides benefits of ECM technology as a "drop-in" for most PSC-powered blowers. Five factory programmed torque or speed settings are controlled by line voltage speed taps allowing connection directly to existing controls and switches, simply and easily. The ECOTECH® EC motor is the simplest path to  advanced technology in HVAC systems.

• Neptune® - It's not a myth - our Neptune Variable Speed Pool Pump Motor is the best motor you'll never hear! Boasting high performance & energy savings by design - including a Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) motor design to prevent dust and debris from harming electrical components and a finned, aluminum construction for keeping the Neptune variable speed pool pump motor cooler. These design features lead to an overall longer field life and higher efficiency of the product, saving homeowners as much as 90% on utility bills tied to pool pumps.

• ID300 Fusion™ -  The ID300 Fusion is an integrated high-performance drive solution for pumps requiring variable speed of 1HP to 10 HP drivers. All the functions of a variable speed drive are incorporated into the pump motor, simply wire up the motor, connect your communication cables and sensors, and configure the ID300 for your application.  

• SynRA™ Motor - The SynRA variable frequency motor provides the starting benefit of an induction motor, the operating benefit of a pure synchronous reluctance motor, and suitability benefit from the simple volts/hz drive.This market-leading product gives higher efficiency and power density without risking components.

• ID300 Perfectspeed™ - We have combined our super premium SynRA motor with our ID300 drive to create a plug-and-play integrated drive motor that performs reliably, efficiently, and is easy to install and maintain - the ID300 Perfectspeed.
