Rotating Machines
Low speed synchronous motors 8 poles and above
A flexible technology to adapt to multiple applications' requirements
We offer a full range of horizontal and vertical synchronous motors, including direct-drive high torque density motors at speeds as low as 20 rpm.
We can easily adapt our standard product platforms to cater for many fixed speed applications with any purposed starting methods including direct online, auto-transformer or electronic soft starting.
Power Conversion has extensive experience in oil & gas, marine, industry and other applications with large low speed motors offering lower weight and inertia advantages.
Our worldwide installed base for synchronous motors accounts for over 600 units and 5,500 MW of power.
Features
Customizable configuration
