The BMR USA VHS445TP-6-150P is a 150 HP, 1200 RPM Vertical Hollow Shaft Motor engineered for the most demanding deep well turbine pump applications requiring high-output power at a lower synchronous speed. Built on the heavy-duty 445TP cast iron frame, this motor delivers the high torque output and structural durability needed for large-scale agricultural irrigation, municipal water supply, and industrial pumping systems where a 6-pole motor configuration is specified.
The 445TP frame is equipped with an upper bracket machined for 175% extra high thrust (EHT), providing the structural capacity to handle the significant axial loads generated by high-capacity deep well pump systems. The precision-cast “P” base allows direct mounting to the pump column without removing the rodent screen, reducing installation time and complexity. The oil bath thrust bearing system delivers long-term reliability under continuous full-load duty, and the dual-flow cooling system with lower bracket air ducts ensures consistent heat dissipation in demanding field environments.
Rated at a NEMA Nominal Efficiency of 95.4% with a power factor of 88% and a 1.15 service factor, the VHS445TP-6-150P is designed for 50°C ambient environments and altitudes up to 3,300 feet above sea level. With standard downthrust rated at 9,800 lbs and extra downthrust available at 17,200 lbs, this motor provides the flexibility to meet a wide variety of deep well pump installation requirements. The 12-ball ductile iron Ball Type Non-Reverse Ratchet protects both motor and pump from reverse rotation during shutdown.
One notable difference on this model compared to the 125HP is the model number suffix, which uses PED16 rather than PE16, reflecting the double-ended shaft configuration available on this frame size. Confirm with BMR USA or your distributor which shaft configuration is required for your specific application.
The VHS445TP-6-150P is inverter-compatible and includes standard 120V space heater leads to prevent internal condensation during idle periods. It is ideally suited for deep well turbine pumps, high-capacity agricultural and municipal irrigation, water treatment and distribution systems, mine dewatering, and large-scale industrial water management.
All BMR USA VHS motors are manufactured with Class H insulation, rated for a 50°C ambient, and are backed by a 2-year warranty from date of installation and a 3-year warranty from date of purchase.
