Siemens & Innomotics SIMOTICS HV Compact-Plus High-Voltage Motors
Brand: Siemens / Innomotics | Series: SIMOTICS HV Compact-Plus (IC411 Rib-Cooled Cast Iron Range)
High-Power Density Rib-Cooled Engineering ā Siemens to Innomotics:
The SIMOTICS HV Compact-Plus series is Siemens' benchmark rib-cooled medium- and high-voltage induction motor architecture, designed to deliver maximum power output within the most compact physical envelope. Following the global transition of Siemens' electric motor operations, this specialized high-voltage portfolio is engineered and manufactured under the independent industrial brand Innomotics.
Engineering Superiority & Rib-Cooled Advantages:
ā¢ Self-Contained IC411 Surface Cooling: Features sophisticated cross-flow cooling ribs cast directly into an ultra-rigid EN-GJL-200 / EN-GJS grey cast iron frame. Eliminates separate water piping (IC81W) or bulky top-mounted air-to-air heat exchangers (IC611), dramatically cutting installation footprints and maintenance overhead.
ā¢ Broad Medium-Voltage Versatility: Configured for standard industrial grids at 3.3 kV, 6.0 kV, 6.6 kV, 10.0 kV, and 11.0 kV (50 Hz and 60 Hz), with continuous power outputs spanning 200 kW to 3,000 kW across IEC frame sizes 355, 400, 450, 500, and 560.
ā¢ MICALASTICĀ® VPI Insulation: Vacuum Pressure Impregnation meets Class F standards (utilized to Class B temperature rise, 80K reserve), enabling direct grid starting (DOL) or smooth speed regulation via medium-voltage converters (SINAMICS GM150 / SM150) under demanding load profiles.

The Siemens & Innomotics SIMOTICS HV Compact-Plus Series sets the standard for reliability, structural rigidity, and low acoustic noise in harsh, dust-laden, and outdoor industrial environments. Built with high mechanical strength to resist torsional vibrations and short-circuit forces, these motors feature regreasable roller or hydrodynamic sleeve bearings, dual-terminal boxes for segregated power and auxiliary wiring, Pt100 temperature sensors in stator slots and bearings, SPM shock-pulse vibration nipples, and IP55/IP56/IP65 protection. They are heavily specified worldwide in chemical processing pumps, refinery cooling fans, raw gas compressors, water intake stations, mining belt conveyors, and power plant boiler feed pumps.
