Medium voltage is especially relevant for heavy applications, which require a motor with an output of 400 kW and upwards. The stator on a medium voltage motor has an improved insulation system to rate it for medium voltage. This includes a vacuum impregnation system, whereby all recesses are filled with varnish together with corona protection materials to prevent electrical wear of the insulation material. In case of severe aging or damage to the windings, the only solution is to rewind the motor in most cases. The lead time for rewinding MV motors is often shorter than the delivery time for a replacement motor. Before we can start winding the MV motors, the coils have to be completely measured and reverse engineered.
Apart from winding MV motors in the workshop, we can also take care of the revision and replacement of laminated cores. By using the latest materials, our engineering department can improve the efficiency and life expectancy of the MV motor.
When the winding is finished, the motor is assembled and the mechanical and electrical aspects are checked in detail.
