X13 Motor, Successor to PSC Motor Technology GE ECM by Regal-Beloit introduces the X13 HVAC blower motor the successor to PSC motor technology, offering efficiencies up to 200% greater. X13 is the brand name for a new category of motors referred to as Standard ECM, and provides an easy way for manufacturers to update their systems to 13 SEER energy standards. Features include a brushless DC, permanent-magnet design that is inherently more efficient over a wide speed range than a PSC design, and a permanent magnet rotor that does not require current to be induced against the air gap between the rotor and stator, a characteristic that results in efficiency losses as heat. thedealertoolbox.com
