Optimised design minimises vibrations and noise

With its new high-voltage motor series Simotics HV HP, Siemens is now able to cover an extended power range of up to 70 MW. Its flexible modular concept makes this series ideal for precisely tailored solu- tions in all kinds of industrial applications in the high power range. The new series benefits from short delivery periods and helps minimise the work involved in plan- ning and engineering, speeding up project completion and bringing forward overall plant commissioning. These high-voltage motors can be used for a wide range of applications in fields as diverse as ship building, power plant technology, and the oil, gas, metal and fibre industries. The reduced planning and engineering input required is due to integration into the

ment due to a high degree of component standardisation. Enquiries: Email Stefan.Rauscher@siemens.com or jennifer.naidoo@siemens.com

Siemens standard tools which now permit simple, rapid selection and configuration up to 70 MW. The design is implemented using Siemens PLM software, which allows data generated to also be used for plant planning.The use of standardised interfaces and the simple, compact concept make for easier plant integration. In terms of its structure, the system benefits from an op- timised base frame which not only reduces noise and vibrations to a minimum but also makes the motor exceptionally robust and able to cope with extreme ambient condi- tions, helping to maximise the availability of the overall plant. Overall availability also benefits from integration into condition monitoring systems, a service-friendly design and simplified spare part procure-

Wire conductors up to 10 mm² in a confined space with the new UT 6-3L three-level terminal block.Thanks to the function shaft on each level, up to three potentials can be distributed in one terminal housing. The conductors are connected using the maintenance-free screw connection principle from Phoenix Contact . All terminal points can be marked individu- ally, thereby ensuring very clear arrangement of the wired terminal strip. Power ratings of up to 1 000 V and 50 A can be wired with the new three-level terminal block. Since this terminal block also has all the sys- tem features of the CLIPLINE complete terminal block system, standard system accessories can be used. This reduces the logistics costs for the user.
