Medium-speed high-voltage permanent magnet synchronous motors 6–10 kV, 220–15 000 kW
Medium-speed permanent magnet synchronous motors cover 220–15 000 kW at 6–10 kV and operate from a variable frequency drive. The main application is the adjustable drive of fans and pumps. The motor is 1–2 frame sizes smaller than an induction motor of the same rating and keeps efficiency above 92 % over a load range of 25–120 %.

Description
A rotor with permanent magnets draws no excitation current, so the power factor exceeds 0.96, and such a motor needs a lower-rated frequency converter. The energy efficiency class is IE4 and higher. The motors are built for 6000–10 000 V, speed 500–3000 rpm, supply frequency from the VFD 5–100 Hz.
The item combines three design versions. The cased version covers 220–15 000 kW with shaft height H355–800, cooling IC611, IC666 or IC81W and explosion protection Ex pxb, Ex pzc or Ex tb. The rib-cooled version has 220–3000 kW, H355–560, cooling IC411/IC416 and an Ex db flameproof enclosure, and is aimed at explosive gas and dust environments. The tubular version gives 400–4000 kW at shaft height H560–710, cooling IC511/IC516, Ex db. The rib-cooled and tubular versions with Ex db are convenient where a pressurised purge system for the enclosure is hard to arrange.
For all versions the degree of protection is up to IP66, mounting IMB3, IMB35 or IMV1. The manufacturer points to magnet stability, quality insulation, insulated bearings, vibration of not more than 1.5 mm/s and a noise level of not more than 85 dB(A). Insulated bearings are needed here precisely because of VFD supply, as they block the path of bearing currents. The motors are made to GB and IEC, with CCC and MA certificates.
Standard operating conditions provide an ambient air temperature from −20 to +40 °C, and from −40 to +60 °C on request. Humidity is up to 90 %, installation altitude up to 1000 m, and up to 5000 m on request. The extended temperature range is ordered for unheated rooms and open sites.
Fields of application are the oil and petrochemical industry, mining, metallurgy, power plants, pulp and paper production and ports. The item is of interest for energy-saving replacement of unregulated high-voltage induction motors of pumps and draught machines in auxiliary systems. In such a project a VFD is installed together with the motor, and the smaller frame size of the PMSM makes it easier to fit on the existing foundation. The wider working range with high efficiency is especially noticeable on pumps and fans, which run at partial load most of the time.
