25HP Vertical Hollow Shaft Motor VHS324TP-6-025P

The BMR USA VHS324TP-6-025P is a 25 HP, 1200 RPM Vertical Hollow Shaft Motor and the bridge model between the compact 280-series and the larger 320-series frames within the 12-lead 1200 RPM HTA lineup. Stepping up to the 324TP cast iron frame, this motor brings a meaningful increase in structural capacity and thrust capability while retaining the 12-lead winding flexibility that defines this series, making it an excellent fit for mid-range deep well turbine pump applications where reduced voltage starting is specified.

The 12-lead winding configuration continues to provide the same wye-delta and part-winding reduced voltage starting versatility as the 15HP and 20HP models below it. This is particularly valuable for installations where controlling inrush current is a priority — such as generator-powered systems, sites with limited electrical service capacity, or applications subject to utility demand charge penalties. The flexibility to select from multiple starting methods gives contractors and engineers greater design freedom without requiring electronic soft starters or VFDs.

A notable step up from the 20HP model is the increased standard downthrust rating of 5,715 lbs, reflecting the move to the larger 324TP frame from the 280-series platform. This expanded thrust capacity makes the VHS324TP-6-025P better suited for deeper well installations and pump configurations that generate higher axial loads than the 15HP and 20HP models can accommodate. The precision-cast 10″ “P” base enables direct pump column mounting without removing the rodent screen, and the dual-flow airflow system with lower bracket air ducts provides reliable cooling under continuous full-load operation.

Rated at a NEMA Nominal Efficiency of 92.6% with a power factor of 86% and a 1.15 service factor, the VHS324TP-6-025P is designed for 50°C ambient environments and altitudes up to 3,300 feet above sea level. The 12-ball ductile iron Ball Type Non-Reverse Ratchet prevents motor and pump backspin at shutdown. The motor is inverter-compatible and equipped with standard 120V space heater leads to prevent internal condensation during idle periods.
