Product: SIMOTICS SD200 severe-duty motor

Description: Siemens announced the availability of the SIMOTICS SD200 severe-duty motor in frame size 440. These new cast-iron NEMA motors are built to power pumps, fans, compressors, hoists, winders, and similar equipment in harsh environments.  With a three-year warranty, the SD200 motors offer 75-800 hp output and feature 444-5013 cast-iron frames for operation in 460 V and 575 V ranges.  They meet or exceed NEMA Premium MG1 Table 12-12 efficiencies. Options include IP56 ingress protection, encoders, brakes, and blowers. On these motors, the frame, end-shields, fan guard, and diagonally split, oversized terminal box are all cast-iron. An offset rotor bar provides improved efficiency, while larger bars and end rings reduce resistance.  Each die-cast aluminum rotor assembly is dynamically balanced for extended bearing life and includes a high-strength C1045 carbon steel shaft for maximum performance. Premium C5-grade steel laminations and copper magnet wire are standard. For insulation, the Class-H non-hygroscopic system with NEMA Class B temperature rise provides an extra margin of thermal life. The insulation system meets or exceeds NEMA MG1 2014 Part 31, making these motors suitable for variable speed drives in constant torque (4:1) and variable torque (20:1). All windings are tested for Corona Inception Voltage (CIV).
