Permanent Magnet Washdown

GE’s line of washdown permanent magnet motors combines the rugged construction features, which customers expect from GE standard PM motors with additional accessories to produce motors optimized for applications with high humidity or periodic exposure to water. The enclosures of these motors are designed to offer moisture and corrosion protection in excess of totally enclosed motors, making them suitable for high-pressure washdown.
