Advantage of BLDC over AC
Early Start
• DC pumps use power directly from modules
• Start at low irradiance levels
• Inverting DC to AC causes losses
• DC pumps start early and work till late
Higher Starting Torque- reduced
chances of clogging of pump in
muddy/sandy water
• Starting torque in AC motors is 2 times
the rated torque
• Starting torque in BLDC/PMDC is 5-6
times
• AC pumps will stall in sandy/muddy water
• DC pumps have sufficient reserve torque
to clear the debris
Advantages of BLDC Technology
Fully encapsulated winding- cannot fail
AC Motors
• Exposed Windings
• Sand and water ingress cause damage
• Weak insulation causing drop in performance
• Considerably reduced life
Rotomag BLDC Motor
• Totally Encapsulated windings
• No effect of debris or water on winding
• Consistent performance
• Long life
Sealed Rotor- Life time Guarantee. 200% higher
torque for operation in sandy/muddy water
AC Motor
• Steel Laminations with AL rotor
• Susceptible to oxidation due to moisture
• Heavy construction
• Higher moment of inertia
• Late start early stop
• Drop in performance over time
Rotomag BLDC Motor
• SS Shaft with rare earth magnets
• No effect of moisture
• Life long guarantee of performance
• Lower weight – lower moment of inertia
• Early start late stop
Long Life Bearings. No replacement for 5 years
AC Motor
• Standard ball bearings used
• No Dampening of axial thrust
• Axial thrust causes damage
• Reduced efficiency
• Higher noise and vibration
• Contamination due to debris
• Reduced water discharge once damaged
Rotomag BLDC Motor
• Ceramic Carbon Thrust bearings used
• Effective dampening of axial thrust
• Lower noise and vibration
• Increased efficiency
• Higher resistance to contamination
• Higher MTBF
• Consistent performance
