Siemens now offers induction motors that are compliant with newest standard for oil and gas industry applications. Motors achieve the American Petroleum Institute’s Standard 541 5th edition design, construction and performance standards.
The Siemens Above NEMA motors (shown) are available in a power range up 13.5 MW (18,000 HP), and with voltages up to 13,800 volts, as well as designs for use on adjustable speed drives, including the Siemens PH180 (Perfect Harmony). Motors are available in a variety of mounting configurations and enclosure options, including WP-II, TEFC, TEAAC and TEWAC.
Published in December 2014, the institute’s revised guidelines provide new construction features, new and better-defined testing options and reformatted data sheets for a customer to more accurately specify and document their motor requirements.
