AVA uses two different types of electric motors across various models:
These are the universal motor and the induction motor.
We select these motor types in varying sizes and powers based on the power rating of each machine.
Both universal and induction motors are common in numerous products, including electronic high-pressure washers, irrespective of brand and type.
AVA employs high-quality motors, and the size/type of motor varies depending on the machine model:
- AVA V3 pumps, i.e., machines with a 3-piston pump, use a universal motor (models include Smart, Go, & Easy).
- AVA V4 pumps, i.e., machines with a 4-piston pump, use an induction motor (models include Master & Evolution).
- AVA V6 pumps use induction motors (specifically in the Evolution P90 V6 and V6).
The basic pros and cons of each motor type can be summarized as follows:
Universal motor:
Benefits:
- Low cost
- Small and lightweight
- Does not require much power
Disadvantages:
- High RPM
- Noisier than induction motors
- Shorter lifespan than induction motors
Induction motor:
Benefits:
- Long lifespan
- Lower RPM
- Stable performance
Disadvantages:
- More expensive
- Larger and heavier
- Requires more power to operate
In essence, the type of motor is crucial to the characteristics of the machine. Regardless of the machine you choose, we can assure you that the motors we use are of high quality. All are designed to allow for self-suction cooling, as water cooling can cause costly damage in the event of frost.
The induction motor boasts a lifespan of around 5,000 hours. With semi-regular service, our machines should serve you well for many years!
