SIMOTICS High Voltage Motors – for every demand

Extreme reliability and long life
A smart concept with a wide range of options makes the SIMOTICS HV motors the preferred choice for virtually any imaginable configuration with a power range from 150 kW up to 100 MW and more, speeds from 7 to 16,000 rpm, and torques up to 40,000 kNm and conformity with IEC and NEMA standards. Options include several cooling systems and all common explosion protection types. In addition, degrees of protection up to IP66 and special paint systems are available for use in aggressive atmospheres and under extreme conditions. We even supply SIMOTICS HV motors for use in temperatures as low as -55° C and for applications with rigorous vibration quality requirements in line with the API standard. With its compact, modular, high-power, specialized and ANEMA series, SIMOTICS HV is the perfect fit for every large drive application in the medium voltage range.
Our portfolio
Compact motors designed for standard and extreme protection requirements
The high voltage compact IEC motors featuring asynchronous technology cover a power range from 150 kW to 7.1 MW, in all relevant cooling types for low installation heights – in addition to classic fin cooling, also available with tube cooling and water jacket cooling. With these versions, they seamlessly cover the corresponding power and application ranges – from basic or standard up to sector-specific applications. They can also address extreme requirements with degree of protection up to IP66, in special designs up to IP68 and all types of explosion protection. The compact motors sets themselves apart as a result of its high power density and compact design that applies across the board. Further, as a result of their outstanding reliability, as well as low maintenance, they boost plant and system availability and reduce energy costs based on their high efficiencies.
Diverse range of modular cooling types for maximum flexibility and performance
With a power rating of up to 26.5 MW, the modular high voltage motors (IEC) cover a wide range of modular cooling concepts, e.g. air/air, air/water heat exchangers, and open cooling. Even in this power range, motors can be quickly and simply selected and configured using standard engineering tools. Due to their modular concept the motors can be precisely adapted to fit every conceivable application up to 26.5 MW. It goes without saying that they have the highest reliability even under extreme conditions, coupled with a long service life, low maintenance and high efficiencies up to 98 %.
SIMOTICS HV HP - the universal platform for highest power ratings up to 70 MW
The SIMOTICS HV HP impresses with a flexible platform concept with various rotor types and a modular cooling to fit individual application conditions for customer specific construction. These motors cover a wide range of options and modular cooling concepts, e.g. air/air, air/water heat exchangers, and open cooling. Also heavy starting conditions (DOL- operation or VSD operation) and high power ratings are realized. Especially the synchronous motors are characterized by a high utilization and an efficiency rates close to 99 %. The standard type is designed according to IEC and standards like NEMA / CSA / API / CCC / EAC are also available.
Motors designed for the specific requirements of more complex or advanced applications
With a power rating of up to greater than 100 MW (or torques up to greater than 40,000 kNm), the specialized high voltage motors are designed to suit the specific requirements of a complex application or to maximize the performance and implementation with an application drive system concept. Siemens expertise in various industries and applications has equipped us to identify situations where we can provide a design specifically optimized for a challenging application or where the requirements of the application exceed the normal capabilities of our main motor designs. As a long-standing supplier with a very large worldwide installed base, we serve industries like Oil & Gas, Mining, Metals, Chemicals and Energy. Wherever you need a large, specialized motor, we will in most cases be a partner of choice.
