A.O.Smith Electrical Products Company

Our new Green Choice® brand of motors is designed to address today’s environmental concerns. A Green Choice motor saves energy by reducing the amount of electricity needed, indirectly reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the air. Carbon dioxide is thought to contribute to global warming, and coal-fired power plants emit a majority of carbon dioxide. Green Choice motors can also reduce noise and contribute to a more environmentally friendly equipment system. A Green Choice motor can save money and makes it your most eco-friendly motor choice. RoHS compliant, Green Choice motors do not contain or use certain hazardous materials in the manufacturing process contributing even more to an environmentally-friendly world.

Our new Green Choice brand of motors is designed to address today's environmental concerns. JuggerNaut™, 3-in-1™, and iMotor™ motors are designed for commercial refrigeration applications and save energy by reducing the amount of electricity needed - resulting in thousands of dollars in energy savings for a typical supermarket.


Many retailers are now retrofitting inverters to their existing A/C and refrigeration equipment to save energy, only to discover that OEM motors do not hold up to the strain that inverters place on them. Each JuggerNaut^® motor is designed for inverter duty with removable 56H rigid base, with class F insulation, for 70ºC (158ºF) maximum ambient conditions, and inverter duty. JuggerNaut is built to withstand the extreme temperature conditions founds in commercial roof top applications and the rigorous demands inverters place on condenser fan motors.

Less efficient shaded pole motors are often used in original equipment to cut costs. While shaded pole motors do allow some small savings in purchae price, the savings are quickly absorbed in electric bills at today's high power costs. The 3-in-1™, 3.3" diameter, permanent split capacitor motor is a direct drop-in replacement for walk-in cooler evaporator fan motors. This multi-horsepower motor can save the retailer up to 50 percent in energy usage. The 3-in-1 allows the motor to deliver more power with a lower amp draw, producing less heat - less work and wear on the compressor for even greater savings.



iMotor^® is a new unit-bearing, electronically commutated motor (ECM), designed as a direct drop-in replacement for supermarket case evaporator fans, replacing hundreds of OEM shaded pole evaporator fan motors. The iMotor refrigeration motor uses less wattage to achieve the same airflow as a shaded pole motor, so it produces less heat. Fewer BTU's in the system means less work and wear on the compressor for even greater savings - saving the retailer up to 65 percent in energy usage.
