Motors with duct-system design

GE Motors has developed a range of motors that feature a patent-pending duct-system design that allows for a smaller footprint with increased output per frame size and greater energy efficiency than a TEAAC Custom 8000 motor from the company. The Quantum LMV motor range can also help reduce lifecycle costs and increase payback.

The new motors are compact and are suitable for retrofits or operations with space constraints. They are suitable for the petrochemical, pulp and paper, power generation, water and wastewater, and mining industries for such applications as pumps, blowers, compressors and conveyors.

TheQuantum LMV frame was designed with seven so-called D-Ducts which can increase airflow for cooler operation and longer motor life at a lower, more versatile shaft height. A new fan design also provides a cooler platform for running at higher power ratings in a smaller frame.

Additional longer-life features include reduced vibration and coil brace construction. Reduced vibration is achieved by having a large separation between the frame natural frequency and line frequencies, exceeding API standards.
