What is an iPM Motor?
In the world of industrial machinery, efficiency and reliability are key for a competitive operation. One of the key components that contribute to these attributes is the motor.
Among the various types of motors available, the Interior Permanent Magnet (iPM) motor stands out for its superior performance and energy efficiency. But what exactly is an iPM motor, and how does it compare to other motor types, used in compressors such as a Standard Variable Speed Drives (VSD)?

- F.A.Q.s on iPM
IPM motors offer several advantages that make them a preferred choice for various industrial applications:
- High Efficiency: iPM motors are designed to minimize energy losses, resulting in higher efficiency compared to traditional induction motors.
- Energy Savings: The reduced energy consumption of iPM motors leads to significant cost savings over time.
- Low Maintenance: The robust design of iPM motors ensures lower maintenance requirements, reducing downtime and operational costs.
- Compact Design: iPM motors are typically more compact, allowing for space-saving installations.
- Improved Performance: The optimized magnetic field generation and reduced Back EMF result in better overall performance.
An Interior Permanent Magnet (iPM) motor is a type of permanent magnet motor where the magnets are embedded within the rotor. This design offers several benefits, including improved structural integrity and reduced Back EMF, which enhances the motor's efficiency and performance.
Key Features of IPM Motors
- Structural Integrity: The embedded magnets are protected from mechanical damage, making the motor more robust and reliable.
- Reduced Back EMF: Back EMF, or counter-electromotive force, is a phenomenon that occurs in electric motors due to the relative motion between the stator windings and the rotor's magnetic field. iPM motors are designed to minimize Back EMF, resulting in better performance and efficiency.
- High Efficiency: iPM motors are more efficient than traditional induction motors, making them ideal for high-efficiency applications.
IPM motors improve compressor efficiency by reducing Back EMF and optimizing magnetic field generation. This results in lower energy consumption and higher overall performance.
The main difference between an IPM motor and an induction motor is the use of permanent magnets. IPM motors use embedded magnets within the rotor, while induction motors rely on electromagnetic induction to generate the magnetic field. IPM motors are more efficient and reliable compared to induction motors.
Yes, IPM screw compressors are generally better than standard VSD compressors in terms of efficiency, energy savings, and reliability. The combination of IPM motors and VSD technology results in superior performance.
Industries such as manufacturing, automotive, HVAC benefit most from using IPM screw compressors due to their high efficiency, reliability, and energy savings.
