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%.
