Product catalog summary
Design Features
The document outlines the design features of motors adhering to standards such as IEC, VDE, DIN, ISO, and EN. It includes options for squirrel-cage or slipring rotors, various degrees of protection (IP23, IP24W, IP55), and types of protection (Exe and Exp to EN 60079). Motors are available with rated voltages from 2 to 15 kV and frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz. They can be converter-fed or system-connected, with construction types IM B3 and IM V1. The design is modular, allowing for customization to meet specific customer requirements.
Modular Design
The motors feature a modular design with options for internal ventilation and various heat exchangers, supporting outputs up to 25,000 kW. The standard frame supports outputs up to 1,500 kW, while space-saving designs are available for encapsulated units.
Frame and Corrosion Protection
The frame is compact, torsionally rigid, and vibration-resistant, made from fabricated construction. Corrosion protection is provided by Schorch paint systems, which are lead-free and suitable for various environments. The paint system is resistant to light, temperatures, and wear.
Bearings
The type of bearings used depends on motor construction, speed, and load. Options include anti-friction bearings with lubricators and grease drains, and sleeve bearings with self or force-feed lubrication. Shaft seals are maintenance-free and provide IP55 protection.
Ventilation and Noise
Motors are internally ventilated, with options for closed-circuit air circulation. The design minimizes noise through careful component interaction, and additional noise reduction measures are available for stringent requirements.
Insulation and Quality Assurance
The V-Celastik® insulating system uses VPI techniques for Class F insulation, ensuring high thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties. Quality assurance follows DIN EN ISO 9001 standards, with continuous monitoring and testing.
Stator and Rotor Design
The stator winding is a corded two-layer winding connected in star. The rotor features a deep-bar squirrel-cage winding with copper bars for high efficiency and low heat losses. Special slot designs are available for specific torque requirements.
Terminals and Terminal Boxes
Terminal boxes are designed for high short-circuit strength and meet IP55 protection standards. They are made from non-splintering materials and include pressure relief joints. Minimum conductor cross-sections are specified based on system fault levels.

The frame is a compact, torsionally rigid and vibration-resistantfabricated construction. It consists basically of the end plates and several intermediate rings, connected by axial bars and tubes and, with horizontal machines, the motor feet. Forces, acting on the bearings, are transmitted directly into the substructure via the end- shields. The entire construction is enclosed by a smooth sheet steel mantle.Slipring motors have a separate slipring housing. > Sandblasting Schorch paint systems are well tried and tested. They do notcontain any lead, heavy metals or silicone.Where operating and...

Developments in the field of insulation led in the 80Βs to the intro-duction of the V-Celastik > insulating system. This is a system usingthe VPI technique which corresponds to Class F. VPI means that the complete stator (core and windings) isimpregnated with artificial resin in a vacuum/pressure process. The result is a winding with excellent thermal, electrical and mechanical properties.The constantly high quality of the high-voltage insulation is en-sured by the latest in manufacturing equipment. > 7/0267 Wound stator prior to impregnation The impulse withstand level of the windings is well...

 Modular design up to 25,000 kW-6

In the basic design, the deep-bar squirrel-cage winding consists of copper bars, brazed to short- circuiting rings. Depending on rotor stresses, ei- ther butt or grooved bar-to-ring joints are used. For higher starting torques, or to meet therequirements of particular torque character- istics, special slot designs can be used. The comparatively low resistance of the copperwinding results in low current/heat losses and, consequently, in high efficiencies. The copper bars are driven into the core slotsand peened to ensure absolutely positive seat- ing. This prevents any movement of the cage winding...
