Experience Matters
For over 100 years, GE has produced countless medium voltage induction
machines for the petrochemical, power generation, mining and minerals, water
and wastewater industries. These motors are commonly used for centrifugal
compressors, blowers, boiler feed pumps, crushers and grinders, multi-stage high
pressure pumps such as water injection or pipeline applications.

Standards
GE motors are designed for, but are not limited
to these critical industry standards:
NEMA MG1
IEC 60034-1
ANSI C50.41
IEEE 112
API 541 & 547
Applicable ISO, AFBMA, ANSI, ASME, and ASTM requirements

Quality
Our world-class testing facility has the capability of meeting a wide range of NEMA,
IEC and API motor requirements. GE is dedicated to manufacturing excellence.
Our facilities are ISO 9001 Certified with over 20 years of Six Sigma process
enhancements and best practice implementations. Our commitment is to deliver
the highest quality design to fit your system requirements with service to exceed
your expectations.
Superior Design
Meets or exceeds API 541
requirements for Petroleum
& Chemical Applications
GE provides machines that are fully compliant to API 541
standards, globally recognized among the most stringent.
You can be assured that you are getting a well-designed and
reliable product, optimized for your specific application.
Reduction of Resonances
GE supplies both flexible and rigid rotor technology. All
machines 1800 rpm and below have rigid rotors as defined
by API. Use of the latest engineering simulation tools and
modern modal testing equipment makes it possible for GE
to assure shaft resonances do not impede operation of the
machine in the specified speed range.

Inverter Duty
The insulation system meets the requirements of NEMA MG-1,
part 31. If required, a shaft grounding device is installed to
reduce shaft voltage. Both bearings are insulated and the
drive end bearing is grounded. Our cage induction motors are
certified for use with the GE MV4, MV6 and MV7000 range of
variable frequency drives.

Improved ventilation
and cooling has been
achieved with a new
internal fan design.

Stator frames are designed using powerful

FEA tools. The design tools confirm safety
margins, and assure resonances are well
outside the operating region.

Insulation System
GE uses an epoxy solventless resin vacuum-pressure-im-
pregnation (VPI) process assuring long life. For line voltages
of 5000 Volts and above, a semi-conducting armor is applied
to the slot portion and beyond the core to provide corona
protection. The binding agent is GE’s third generation epoxy
resin, selected and tested to IEEE-1776. The coils receive a

Accurate Frequency Response Design
System resonance can shorten the life of your equipment.
GE invested in the development and calibration of a new
Reed Critical Frequency (RCF) prediction tool. It arms our
engineers with the accurate data they need to create custom
designs for specific application challenges.
Wound Rotor
Energy Recovery System
GE wound rotor induction motors are designed to operate
with Slip Energy Recovery drives within a standard range of
80% to 110% of the rated speed. Every design is optimized
to suit each application and to provide maximum energy
savings, effective speed control, and high reliability.

Frame Design - Benefits Rotor Construction

Large inspection windows on both ends of the frame ensure
easy maintenance and inspection access. The modular frame
design accommodates multiple cooling, bearing loading and
protection options without changing
the motor stator frame.
Rotor Design
Shaft FEA modeling (including Torsional, Radial and Axial
loads) help ensure rotor designs meet specifed application
requirements.
The rotor has a three-phase insulated winding. Rotor winding
terminals are brought out through rotating slip rings and
stationery brushes. These terminals are used to connect
an external resistor in series with the rotor winding
in order to control the motor accelerating torque and
associated current.

Bearing Design
API compliant options are available for the rolling
element and sleeve bearing

Upper Endshield Brush Lifting Device
In a traditional application as the motor achieves nominal
Stator
Chamber speed, the starting resistor is shorted out through the brushes
(Enclosed or Open Types) between the slip rings. This shortens the life of the brushes
and adds extra wear in the motor. An optional solution from
GE, called a Brush Lifting Device, is an integrated mechanism,
which shorts the slip rings and lifts the brushes at nominal
speed to avoid this wear.
