Drive Down Costs with Smarter Efficiency - LEO PM5 High-Efficiency Motors

2025.06.06

High-Efficiency Motors: The Foundation of Cost-Effective Pumping Systems

In any pumping system, the motor is the core component - directly determining overall performance, energy consumption, and long-term system reliability. Selecting a high-efficiency motor is therefore not only a technical decision, but a strategic one: it translates into lower operating costs, reduced energy waste, and a more sustainable lifecycle.

At LEO, we address these challenges with the PM5 High-Efficiency Motor, engineered to deliver superior efficiency, intelligent control, and durable performance across a wide range of applications.

LEO PM5 - High-Efficiency Motors


PM5 Motor Technology: Designed for Efficiency and Control

The LEO PM5 Motor integrates two advanced technologies at its core:

- Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM)

- Integrated Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

This combination enables precise speed control, optimized energy usage under varying load conditions, and stable system operation - ensuring that pumps consume only the energy they truly need.

Compared with conventional induction motors, PM5 motors deliver measurable efficiency gains, especially in applications with fluctuating demand such as water supply and HVAC systems.


Why PM5 Is a Cost-Saving Choice

1. Higher Energy Efficiency, Lower Power Bills

The PM5 motor delivers up to 5% higher efficiency than IE3 motors on average. Over continuous operation, this improvement significantly reduces electricity consumption - directly lowering energy costs and carbon emissions.

3. Built-In Intelligent Protection

PM5 motors feature integrated protection functions, e.g.:

- Water shortage protection

- Overcurrent protection

- Overvoltage protection

These intelligent safeguards minimize system failures, reduce unexpected downtime, and extend equipment lifespan - cutting maintenance, repair costs over the long term.

Beyond Direct Savings: Creating Long-Term Value

While immediate cost reduction is a key benefit, the PM5 motor delivers lasting value that extends beyond operational savings.

By significantly improving energy efficiency and reducing resource consumption, PM5 motors help customers:

- Lower overall carbon footprint

- Reduce energy waste in daily operation

- Enhance system safety and reliability

- Support responsible and sustainable water use

These advantages align closely with ESG objectives, helping businesses and communities meet growing expectations around environmental responsibility, operational transparency, and sustainable infrastructure development.


Proven Across Multiple Applications

Today, PM5 motors power LEO's core pump series, supporting a wide range of applications, including:

- Domestic water supply systems

- HVAC & circulation systems

- Commercial & high-rise buildings

- Agricultural irrigation systems

Across these sectors, PM5-powered solutions enable users to reduce lifecycle costs, optimize water management, and operate more sustainably - without compromising performance or reliability.
