Is 1MW 6kV 1600 RPM Motor Really Worth Only 40 Euros?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the confusion regarding the pricing of a 1MW, 6kV, 1600 RPM Cage Rotor Asynchronous Motor, which is being offered for only 40 euros, significantly lower than typical market prices in the thousands. Participants express concern about the potential misunderstanding of the motor's specifications, particularly the 6kV rated voltage. Additionally, there is a query about the overload settings for a 37kW motor in a 3-phase star/delta setup, where the overload appears lower than expected compared to calculated amperage. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding motor ratings and configurations to avoid costly mistakes. Clarification on these technical aspects is sought to ensure proper application and pricing assessment.

Hi...
Need help understanding 1MW, 6kV, 1600 RPM,Cage Rotor Asynchronous Motor, 3 Phase, 4 Poles.
I have the basic understanding of all ratings but have received very low price for this motor but when i searched on the internet it looked huge and had very high price as compared to what i have got... is there some misunderstanding? 40 euros vs 1000's of euros... is the 6kV rated voltage?

Thanks for help in advance!
 
Hi i have a question i was looking at a 3 phase star/delta set up and notices the overload was lower than expected it was a 37kw motor which is 66 amps to my calculations but overload was 38 i think roughly. I looked on the motor and found at 50hz 660v at star gave the same amps as what the overload was set at. do u understand what I am on about as we only work 3 phase at 415. i would be really greatfull if u could help me
thank you

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
