One-stop-shop solution - New project film shows a practical example of a replacement motor

MENZEL delivered the replacement of a 1969 slip ring motor complete with brush lifting device and onsite services from a single source. This is now also documented in a project video.

The three-phase wound rotor slip ring motor design drives a peak-load pump at the state water supply association in Baden-Württemberg. A special feature is that the motor in size 800 was equipped with a short-circuit and brush lifting device. In addition to all the accessories with starter, clutch, base frame etc., the 5kV switchgear was also rewired, which was supplied by Pawils Elektromaschinenbau GmbH, a MENZEL Group company.

One-Stop electric motors supplier – customized solutions

MENZEL offers electric motor single source supply in the high power range with full capabilities to also provide extensive additional services on request. By replacing an old motor from 1969, the water supply for around 250 towns and communities with around 3 million consumers was secured for the State Water Utility Baden Württemberg.

Here is the motor data:

  • 3-phase slip ring asynchronous motor with carbon brush lifting device (KBAV)
  • Rated power: 6200 kW
  • Rated voltage: 5000 V
  • Standard: IEC / EN 60034-1
  • Rated speed: 992 1/min
  • Type: IM 1001 (IM B 3)
  • Protection class: IP 55

New project film shows practical example 

Our latest video accompanies the project with the State Water Utility in Baden-Württemberg:

The film summarises in three steps what MENZEL can offer you:

1: Development of a customised motor solution

Our highly qualified engineers analyse your requirements to develop exactly the motor solution you need ensuring smooth operation in your industrial plant. MENZEL manufactures and supplies customised three-phase asynchronous motors up to 13.8 kV and 25 MW as well as DC motors up to 1 kV and 2 MW

E.g., the energy efficiency of the motor was particularly important to the customer. MENZEL therefore developed a solution with an efficiency of 96.7 %. In addition, we can supplement any particular motor solution with the necessary package of accessories and we manufacture special electric motors - for example the mentioned one with a short-circuit and brush lifting device, starter etc.

2: Removal of the old motor on site 

Our experienced technicians will remove the existing motor to be replaced on your premises. This is done efficiently, reliably and in accordance with environmental regulations. 

3: Delivery, installation and commissioning of the new motor

To ensure the desired result, all our motors are tested in our modern load test centre before delivery. As a customer, you are welcome to join us here to witness testing. Once the motor has been approved, it can be delivered worldwide thanks to our professional logistics management. 

On request, MENZEL can - as in the project example - take over the installation and commissioning  of all the associated motor components, including the alignment and commissioning of the new motor at your site. We also rely on the good work of our colleagues at Pawils Elektromaschinenbau GmbH, who completed the rewiring of the 5kV switchgear in the project with the state water supply company. With Pawils, we have a Full Service electrical contracting division at our side.
