High voltage water cooled motor for Linde India
Menzel has delivered at short notice a new, high voltage water cooled motor with 11 MW to Linde India Ltd., to drive a compressor in a steel mill. The new motor, delivered in only a few weeks from order, is a modular HV squirrel cage motor from our MEBKSW series ensured minimal system downtime of crucial steel production.
When a large water cooled 11 MW compressor motor from another brand suddenly failed, the steel mill in the state of Odisha in eastern India was briefly shut down. Thanks to MENZEL's quick delivery of a suitable replacement motor, major production losses could be averted. Menzel maintains an extensive warehouse of large high-voltage motors, in addition to low and medium-voltage motors for all kinds of industrial applications, which can be tailored to suit customers’ needs.
The new motor, its total weight is 23.5 t, operates with a rated voltage of 11 kV was designed for 50 Hz operation with a rated speed of 1492 min-1 in continuous operation (operating mode S1). Two of our motor experts flew from Germany to India for the commissioning of this special motor - a service that we are happy to offer our international customers.
Water-cooled high voltage motors – MENZEL series MEBKSW
For the project with Linde, we chose a modular, water-cooled high voltage motor from the MEBKSW series. Our IC 81W motors with squirrel cage rotors are by default very well suitedto the ambient conditions with temperatures up to 50 °C and a humidity of up to 95 %.
