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 15,900 rpm, and torques up to 2,460 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 -60° 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 19 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 19 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 high power motors cover a wide range of high voltage asynchronous motors
The high power motors have been designed to address industrial applications that demand the highest power ratings. Applications such as refiners, large extruders, mills, crushers, air separation plants, blast-furnace blowers, gas compressor stations and gas liquefaction plants. The high power motors with asynchronous technology offers power ratings up to 38 MW to address applications such as these.
Motors designed for the specific requirements of more complex or advanced applications
With a power rating of up to 30 MW, the specialized high voltage motors provide motor designs built specifically 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. The demands of applications like high speed compressors up to 15,900 rpm, subsea pumps, specific injection pumps, rolling mill or ship motors.
