ROUND UP
Optimised design minimises vibrations and noise
With its new high-voltage motor series
Simotics HV HP, Siemens is now able to
cover an extended power range of up to
70 MW. Its flexible modular concept makes
this series ideal for precisely tailored solu-
tions in all kinds of industrial applications
in the high power range. The new series
benefits from short delivery periods and
helps minimise the work involved in plan-
ning and engineering, speeding up project
completion and bringing forward overall
plant commissioning. These high-voltage
motors can be used for a wide range of
applications in fields as diverse as ship
building, power plant technology, and the
oil, gas, metal and fibre industries.
The reduced planning and engineering
input required is due to integration into the
Siemens standard tools which now permit
simple, rapid selection and configuration
up to 70 MW. The design is implemented
using Siemens PLM software, which allows
data generated to also be used for plant
planning.The use of standardised interfaces
and the simple, compact concept make
for easier plant integration. In terms of its
structure, the system benefits from an op-
timised base frame which not only reduces
noise and vibrations to a minimum but also
makes the motor exceptionally robust and
able to cope with extreme ambient condi-
tions, helping to maximise the availability
of the overall plant. Overall availability also
benefits from integration into condition
monitoring systems, a service-friendly
design and simplified spare part procure-
ment due to a high degree of component
standardisation.

Space-saving wiring
up to 10 mm²
Wire conductors up to 10 mm² in a confined
space with the new UT 6-3L three-level terminal
block.Thanks to the function shaft on each level,
up to three potentials can be distributed in one
terminal housing.
The conductors are connected using the
maintenance-free screw connection principle
from Phoenix Contact.
All terminal points can be marked individu-
ally, thereby ensuring very clear arrangement
of the wired terminal strip. Power ratings of up
to 1 000 V and 50 A can be wired with the new
three-level terminal block.
Since this terminal block also has all the sys-
tem features of the CLIPLINE complete terminal
block system, standard system accessories can
be used. This reduces the logistics costs for
the user.
