Medium Voltage

Medium voltage electric motors are engineered for the most demanding industrial and utility applications, where efficiency, torque, and reliability must scale with power.
Operating at 2300 V, 4160 V, and 6600 V, these motors deliver thousands of horsepower while minimizing current draw — ideal for refineries, mining, pulp and paper, water treatment, and energy infrastructure.

Designed for continuous duty and compliance with NEMA MG-1, IEEE 841, and CSA C390 standards, these motors are available in Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC), Weather-Protected (WPI/WPII), and Explosion-Proof (TEXP) enclosures.

Advantages of Medium Voltage Motors

  • High Power, Low Current: Fewer conductors, smaller switchgear, and reduced energy loss.

  • Extended Cable Runs: Suitable for large facilities and remote drive systems.

  • Improved Efficiency: Meets or exceeds IE3/IE4 levels at large scale.

  • Reduced Infrastructure Costs: Eliminates need for step-up transformers in many applications.

  • VFD Integration: Compatible with medium-voltage drives for variable-speed control.
