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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the pricing and specifications of a 1MW, 6kV, 1600 RPM Cage Rotor Asynchronous Motor, specifically questioning why the quoted price of 40 Euros is significantly lower than typical market values, which range in the thousands. Participants clarify that the 6kV rating is indeed the voltage specification, and the motor's price discrepancy may stem from factors such as condition, sourcing, or potential misunderstandings regarding its operational capabilities. Additionally, there are inquiries about overload settings in a 3-phase star/delta configuration, emphasizing the importance of understanding motor ratings and electrical parameters.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of 3-phase electrical systems
  • Familiarity with motor specifications, including voltage and RPM ratings
  • Knowledge of star/delta motor configurations
  • Basic principles of electrical overload protection
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the operational characteristics of Cage Rotor Asynchronous Motors
  • Learn about motor pricing factors and market valuation
  • Study the implications of voltage ratings in motor applications
  • Explore overload protection settings in 3-phase systems
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, motor technicians, procurement specialists, and anyone involved in the purchasing or maintenance of industrial motors.

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
