Historical Westinghouse Motor Information
Historical Westinghouse Motor Information
(OP)
Reaching out to see if anyone has any references to determine the weight of an old 600 HP, 2300V, 151A, 3 Phase Westinghouse synchronous motor. I've contacted various sources at Westinghouse (or their related company today), done a reasonable amount of web searching and have had no luck. Nameplate attached for information.

Also adding, you will not know the TOTAL weight of the machine until the entire apparatus is actually weighed.
Large motors, and generators are often dismantled on site, and transported in pieces to a repair facility.
What I would do to narrow down your search would be to contact repair facilities whom have
actually worked on equipment of this nature.
Most, (if not ALL) Internet answers to this question are going to be erroneous and not reliable information.
Call/contact repair shops on both coasts of the United States, and pluck a few from the Midwest, and average the answers you’re given… if they are willing to give you a guess at all.
In clicking on this [Historical] question, I was expecting to see a photo of a “metal casting” name plate.
The stamped nameplate reveals the machine is not as old… as [old] is.

Off the topic - An open type motor in that environment? The end user is brave indeed.

That looks like the boneyard.
With the integral compressor and connected vessel I would guess up to as high as 15 tons.
