Electrical Information
 

Rated current and speed

• Standard information on the motor data can be found directly with the respective product in the data sheet.

Starting currents 

• Generally, the starting currents for IE3 motors are 9-11 x IN

IE3 

• As of 01.01.2017, motors (≥ 0.75 kW) built and sold within the EU must comply with the new IE3 standard.
   

NEMA and other international standards

• As of 01.07.2016, motors (≥ 1 HP) manufactured or distributed in the USA must comply with the current NEMA Premium Standard.
  The standard is documented via a CC number from the DOE.

• We also offer solutions for other international standards. You can find these under Downloads in the Technical Information "Electrical". 
  On request, we offer solutions with standard motors.

Nameplates

• Our Internal Sales Team will be happy to send you an example of a Brinkmann motor nameplate.

Mechanical Information
 

Pump curves

• Pump curves are based on water with a viscosity of 1cSt.
• In our characteristic curve fields, the pressure is plotted against the volume flow rate.
  The conversion from bar to mFs can be done simplified with the factor 10. 1 bar corresponds to approx. 10 mFs.
• When using higher viscosity fluids, e.g. oil, the pump curve for centrifugal pumps generally decreases.
  Please contact our Sales Department for a characteristic curve related to your specific application.

  
Weights and measures 

• All weights and dimensions can be found in our Catalogs.

  
Direction of rotation

• The direction of rotation depends on the pump type. The corresponding information can be found in the Operating instructions or in the Catalog.

Price information

Price lists

• Most pumps are configured for their application, so we do not publish a standard price list.
