Housed in the Quantum WPII 580 frame, the Quantum LMV Motor achieves premium efficiency while maintaining the same footprint as medium voltage motors, allowing users to attain high horsepower outputs without the need to reconfigure their existing low voltage infrastructure. These motors offer exceptionally high power density for the 580 frame size. With these motors, operators no longer need to install multiple machines or upgrade to a medium voltage setup, resulting in a significantly lower upfront investment and reduced long-term cost of ownership. Additionally, this solution offers easier operation and fewer components to manage, streamlining maintenance and enhancing overall efficiency.

The Quantum High Power LMV motors are built with inverter-grade insulation, insulated flange-mounted sleeve bearings, and a robust form coil epoxy VPI insulation system, making them well-suited for VFD (variable frequency drive) applications in harsh, moisture-laden environments. The motors are also certified to API 541 and 547 standards, with CSA certification for added assurance of performance and compliance, and suitable for use in Division 2 environments.

Offering plug-and-play standardization with BTD, RTD, space heaters, and additional access boxes, installation and integration are straightforward. Maintenance-free sleeve bearing options are available, contributing to reduced upkeep and operational costs. The product is engineered for an expected operating life of 20 years or more, providing long-term reliability. It is available for operation in ambient conditions ranging from -40°C to 50°C, making it versatile for various environments.

Wolong Electric America’s new motors allow customers to achieve up to 70–80% increases in productivity, all without the need for costly step-up transformers or full medium voltage conversions. These motors are ideal for a variety of applications, including oil and gas, municipal power generation, centrifugal compressors, water chillers, fans, and blowers. They are available in voltages up to 575V and 600V, and offer VFD compatibility along with a range of customizable options.

With the introduction of these high power, low voltage Quantum motors, Wolong Electric America continues to redefine industry standards for efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in demanding pumping applications. This latest innovation underscores Wolong Electric America’s ongoing commitment to delivering advanced solutions that empower customers to maximize productivity while minimizing operational complexity and expense.
