I am working on powerplant projects to be constructed in Mexico. These facilities will include medium voltage motors for pumps (4,160 or 6,900 VAC). I see there is NOM-016-ENER-2016, but this standard/code is only applicable for motors rated up to 373kW/500hp. Does anyone know if there is an additional Mexican NOM for motors larger than 500 hp?
Much thanks for any helpful input.
