The BMR USA VHS445TP-6-205P is a 250 HP, 1200 RPM Vertical Hollow Shaft Motor and represents the most powerful motor in the 6-lead 1200 RPM HTA series lineup. Built on the 445TP cast iron frame and engineered to push the platform to its maximum output capacity, this motor is purpose-built for the highest-demand deep well turbine pump applications where exceptional power output at the lower 6-pole synchronous speed is required.
Like the 150HP, 200HP, and 250HP siblings sharing the 445TP frame, the VHS445TP-6-205P features an upper bracket machined for 175% extra high thrust (EHT), an oil bath thrust bearing system for sustained reliability under the significant axial loads of large deep well pump systems, and a dual-flow cooling system with lower bracket air ducts to maintain optimal operating temperatures under continuous heavy-duty operation. The precision-cast “P” base provides direct pump column mounting without removing the rodent screen, and the double-ended shaft configuration is reflected in the PED16 model number suffix.
Rated at a NEMA Nominal Efficiency of 95.8% — matching the 200HP at the highest efficiency level in this series — with a power factor of 89% and a 1.15 service factor, the VHS445TP-6-205P delivers premium efficiency performance that helps minimize energy costs in continuous-duty applications. Full load current of 272.3 amps and locked rotor amps of 1,906 reflect the substantial power demands of this 250 HP rating, and proper electrical infrastructure sizing should be confirmed with BMR USA or your authorized distributor prior to installation. The motor is rated for 50°C ambient environments and altitudes up to 3,300 feet above sea level.
Standard downthrust is rated at 9,800 lbs with an extra downthrust option of 17,200 lbs available, consistent with the rest of the 440-series 1200 RPM lineup. The 12-ball ductile iron Ball Type Non-Reverse Ratchet guards the motor and pump against reverse rotation at shutdown. The VHS445TP-6-205P is inverter-compatible and includes standard 120V space heater leads to prevent condensation buildup during idle periods.
This motor is ideally suited for the most demanding deep well turbine pump installations, large-scale municipal water supply and treatment infrastructure, high-capacity agricultural and industrial irrigation systems, mine dewatering, and heavy industrial water management applications where maximum 6-pole output at 1200 RPM is required.
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.
