Large synchronous motor on the test bed

Synchronous Motors
up to 120 MW

For the largest, most critical drives — constant speed, controllable power factor and the highest efficiency at multi-megawatt ratings.

Electric Motors

Constant speed. Controllable power factor.

Where induction machines reach their limits, synchronous motors take over: high-inertia starts, the largest compressor and mill drives, and applications where reactive power matters. Brushless or static excitation keeps the power factor exactly where your network wants it — often improving the economics of an entire plant.
