High-speed ASD motor for compressor drive
High-speed ASD motor for compressor drive
(OP)
We are evaluating the use of high-speed ASD motors for use as centrifugal compressor drivers. A sister facility has installed 2 x 3500 HP @ 11,000 rpm in a similar application. The drives were manufactured by ASI/Robicon and the motors by Ansaldo. They have performed very reliably for the past 10 years. Our current applications calls for 4800 HP @ 14,300 rpm. We have space limitations necessitating that we consider this particular approach...among other alternative solutions.
We know that Siemens/LDR (formerly ASI/Robicon) can manufacture such systems. We are seeking additional sources worldwide....USA, Japan, UK, etc....and would be grateful for the names of other companies manufacturing similar systems.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Tom

Robicon was/is so dominant in the large MV drives business here that others have a tough time making a go of it unless they already had a decent product base.

Thank you for the lead on Alsthom. Looks like they're worth having a chat with.
