Medium and High-Voltage Motors

VEM Sachsenwerk GmbH in Dresden specialises in medium and high-voltage motors for large industrial drives — from 100 kW to 42 MW for 3 kV, 6 kV, 10 kV and higher voltage levels. Used in mining, cement, oil & gas, marine and power generation applications. Available as induction motors, synchronous motors and permanent magnet motors for the most demanding drive applications.

Permanent Magnet Motors — IE4 and IE5

VEM permanent magnet synchronous motors achieve IE4 Super Premium Efficiency and IE5 Ultra Premium Efficiency — substantially higher than standard asynchronous motors. Operated exclusively with frequency converters, VEM PM motors deliver improved partial load efficiency and higher power density — ideal for pump, fan and compressor variable speed drives in energy-intensive industries.
