Experience Matters
For over 100 years, GE has produced countless medium voltage induction
machines for the petrochemical, power generation, mining and minerals, water
and wastewater industries. These motors are commonly used for centrifugal
compressors, blowers, boiler feed pumps, crushers and grinders, multi-stage high
pressure pumps such as water injection or pipeline applications.
Standards
GE motors are designed for, but are not limited
to these critical industry standards:
NEMA MG1
IEC 60034-1
ANSI C50.41
IEEE 112
API 541 & 547
Applicable ISO, AFBMA, ANSI, ASME, and ASTM requirements
Quality
Our world-class testing facility has the capability of meeting a wide range of NEMA,
IEC and API motor requirements. GE is dedicated to manufacturing excellence.
Our facilities are ISO 9001 Certified with over 20 years of Six Sigma process
enhancements and best practice implementations. Our commitment is to deliver
the highest quality design to fit your system requirements with service to exceed
your expectations.

The insulation system meets the requirements of NEMA MG-1,
part 31. If required, a shaft grounding device is installed to
reduce shaft voltage. Both bearings are insulated and the
drive end bearing is grounded. Our cage induction motors are
certified for use with the GE MV4, MV6 and MV7000 range of
variable frequency drives.

Insulation System
GE uses an epoxy solventless resin vacuum-pressure-impregnation (VPI) process assuring long life. For line voltages
of 5000 Volts and above, a semi-conducting armor is applied
to the slot portion and beyond the core to provide corona
protection. The binding agent is GE’s third generation epoxy
resin, selected and tested to IEEE-1776. The coils receive a
protective armor of heavy glass tape for protection against

speed, the starting resistor is shorted out through the brushes
between the slip rings. This shortens the life of the brushes
and adds extra wear in the motor. An optional solution from
GE, called a Brush Lifting Device, is an integrated mechanism,
which shorts the slip rings and lifts the brushes at nominal
