In high-kW electric motors, speed is chosen by the speed and torque the application requires. The 1000, 1500 and 3000 rpm options correspond to 6, 4 and 2-pole motors respectively, each suited to different applications.

1000 rpm (6-Pole)

Ideal for applications needing low speed and high torque. Loaded conveyors, mixers and mills are built with 6-pole high-kW motors.

1500 rpm (4-Pole)

A balanced option in terms of speed and torque. It is the most widely used speed in large pumps, fans and general industrial drives.

3000 rpm (2-Pole)

Preferred for large centrifugal pumps, high-pressure fans and compressors needing high speed. Combined with high kW it provides high flow.
