Inverter-Duty, Premium Efficiency
WATTSAVER Motors

When it comes to protecting the motor in a variable frequency drive (inverter)

application, look to LEESON for the answer. Our premium efficiency,
inverter-duty WATTSAVER motors are doubly capable.

IRIS Insulation System

WATTSAVER motors use second-
generation, 200C magnet wire and
an extra-heavy varnish systemas
part of our exclusive Inverter-Rated
Insulation System (IRIS), standard at no
extra cost. This total insulation system includes
specially-formed phase insulation, cushioned and
sleeved connections (from the leads all the way into
the turns), and deep-penetrating, non-hygroscopic,
high-temperature varnish.

More Protection
with WATTSAVER
In addition, the premium efficiency design of the
WATTSAVER provides more copper and steelan
extra margin of operating safety to protect against
excessive heating. As an additional assurance, the
premium efficiency ratings of WATTSAVER motors have
been independently verified to IEEE 112B test standards.

LEESON Inverters & Accessories
