Siemens completes the range of "Simotics FD" low-voltage motors and now covers a power range from 200 to 1600 kW and shaft heights from 315 to 450 mm. The motors are optimized for converter operation and are particularly energy-saving in the partial load range. In combination with Sinamics low-voltage converters, they form an integrated drive system (IDS) and achieve system efficiency class IES2. Compared to the reference system of the standard, this means a reduction in losses of 35%.
The modular design gives the user the greatest possible flexibility: For example, he can choose between air or water cooling or internal or external ventilation. Service concepts such as condition monitoring enable predictive condition monitoring.
The Simotics FD motors are designed to work in concert with Sinamic's low-voltage converters and, as IDS, are a cost-effective, low-noise, energy-efficient complete system. Combined with Sinamics low-voltage converters, the powertrain achieves system efficiency class IES2. If the drive system is consistently water-cooled, heat recovery can further increase efficiency. The water-cooled motors are extremely compact due to their up to 30% higher power density.
The combination of Sinamics G120P inverter and Simotics FD motor was specially designed for pump-fan applications and is particularly powerful here. The Simotics FD motors are now in use in all sectors such as plastics, cement, mining, steel, marine, paper, cranes, water / wastewater and chemicals. The expansion of service now covers the entire performance range.
