Custom 6600V electric motor for thermal power plant in Japan
MENZEL was asked to manufacture a custom 6600V electric motor to drive a multistage condensate water pump in a thermal power station . The existing motor needed to be replaced quickly . In just four weeks MENZEL planned , built and delivered a three-phase squirrel cage motor with IC 616 cooling and IP 55 protection .
The Requirements : Precision and Speed
The customer not only wanted a motor that could be seamlessly integrated into the existing system via plug-and-play , but also one that could be implemented quickly . MENZEL was able to complete the motor in just four weeks .
One of our stock motors in the required size formed the basis . However , the following adjustments still had to be made :
• Precision work on the rotor shaft : conversion to shaft nuts with lefthand thread and laser welding of the keyway
• Changing the cooling system : Conversion from IC81W to the IC616 system
• Adaptation of the direction of rotation : including different inner fan wheel Accompanying tests : Extensive tests in the load test field to ensure the highest standards
• Adapterplate and different mechanical modification : for a plug and play type fixing between the motor and the pump
The Implementation : Precision meets Efficiency
During the planning phase , we went through several changes and special requirements . Thanks to the close cooperation between the customer , our project engineers and our production department , we were able to develop and agree
30 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk the technical solution quickly . Our ability to meet technical requirements and commercial details in record time was particularly praised . In addition , the motor was extensively tested in our load test field . Where MENZEL successfully met all customer requirements .
