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
