LSPM motors
Compressors equipped with an line start permanent magnet motor (LSPM motor) can be identified by the letter "U" added to the model designation (e. g. GSU60120VLB4-2). The built-in permanent magnets generate a non-negligible magnetic field which, however, is shielded by the compressor housing.
