What is a Severe Duty Motor?
Severe-duty electric motors, unlike their standard-duty counterparts, are robust and heavy-duty drop-ins. They are designed to excel in harsh applications and environments, offering exceptional performance and a long lifespan. What sets them apart is their superior construction and unique features that provide protection against contamination, moisture, vibration, and demanding duty cycles.

IEEE841 Severe Duty Motor Cost
IEEE841 motors typically have a higher upfront cost than their standard counterparts (roughly 6%—9% across industry data), but the total cost of ownership has the potential to be reduced due to lower energy consumption, reduced downtime and repairs, safety factors, and more. It is important to note that regardless of the motor, specifications, ratings, and features, it is imperative to maintain the unit properly throughout its lifespan.
What Does IEEE841 mean?
In 1986, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) developed the 841 Standard for electric motors, primarily for the petroleum and chemical industries. The IEEE841 standard, in essence, improved the reliability, efficiency, and performance rating of motors, making them capable of operating in applications that created a high level of mechanical stress on electric motors and within contaminated environments containing dust, dirt, and liquids that would typically cause premature catastrophic failure to regular-duty motors. IEEE841 includes components such as cast iron frames, stainless nameplates, special bearings, special seals, flatness of feet, non-sparking fan, anti-corrosive painting, and a minimum Class F insulation system. The standard also specifies limits on vibration and noise, a minimum of IP55 protection, premium efficiency, and NEMA Standard sizes. Additionally, severe-duty IEEE841 motors must be capable of operating in conditions ranging from -25°C to +40°F, a maximum altitude of 1,000 meters, humid environments, corrosive circumstances, and salty applications; full voltage starting and Class I Division II hazardous locations. Furthermore, these motors must include a five-year warranty. Any electric motor rated IEEE841 must meet the below key specifications per the most recent update as of May 28th, 2021:
