The SH630 Above NEMA AC induction motor offers higher horsepower in a smaller footprint. It provides up to 11,000 hp at supply voltages from 2.3 to 13.8 kV, 50 or 60 Hz. The low-windage design minimizes friction losses.

It is available in a wide selection of cooling configurations and enclosures (Weather-Protected Type II, Totally Enclosed Water-to-Air Cooled and Totally Enclosed Air-to-Air Cooled). The motor also features the Micalastic® comprehensive vacuum impregnation insulation system to extend the motor’s service life. With its line-supply and converter-fed operation, corona shielding, high switching and reversing strength, the Micalastic system delivers thermal stability, surge strength and resistance to severe environmental and electrical operating conditions.
