Connect with our Technical DirectorsAnalyzing the demand parameters for high-voltage and medium-voltage rotating machines in the German capital.
The Berlin metropolitan area is undergoing a profound energy and industrial transformation. Under the Berliner Klimaschutzgesetz (Berlin Climate Protection Act), the city is targeting complete climate neutrality by 2045. This has placed immense pressure on heavy utility infrastructure, district heating networks (previously managed by Vattenfall and now municipalized), and wastewater operations managed by the Berliner Wasserbetriebe (BWB).
In these environments, high-voltage AC motors (operating at 6kV, 10kV, or 11kV) serve as the vital mechanical muscle powering heavy-duty pumps, air compressors, and district heat exchangers. In particular, the shift from coal-fired combined heat and power (CHP) stations to large-scale geothermal heat pumps and waste-to-energy projects requires specialized medium-voltage drives that can operate with variable speed control under harsh, continuous-duty profiles.
Furthermore, the expansion of modern industrial initiatives in the Siemensstadt Square high-tech hub highlights the growing local demand for smart, connected, and highly efficient electric machinery. Standard compliance with EU 2019/1781 eco-design rules is non-negotiable, forcing procurement officers to seek out reliable manufacturers capable of delivering IE4 and IE5 rated motors with integrated condition monitoring.
District Heating: Circulating pumps running at 6.3kV to 10kV, demanding high frame durability and continuous insulation integrity under thermomechanical stress.
High-capacity intake and wastewater pumps requiring chemical corrosion-resistant castings, custom shaft seals, and VPI insulation to protect against moisture-induced failures.
Chemical processing and hydrogen blending facilities require strict ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 and Zone 2 certifications for all high-voltage and low-voltage electric machines.
Our solutions combine European century-old brand heritage with China's Factory 4.0 manufacturing speed and cost efficiency.
Different kinds of Ex certificates are available for your specific industry and market needs, including full conformity to EU directives and German safety standards.
IE5, IE4, and IE3 efficiency classes are available. We also offer advanced Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) for ultimate energy savings and rapid ROI.
A rich, comprehensive product range covering high-voltage induction motors, flameproof coal shearer motors, and low-voltage marine motors for harsh industrial environments.
In today's volatile global economy, procurement delays can cost millions in downtime. By integrating China's Factory 4.0 digital manufacturing platform with European technological standards, we provide the ultimate answer to supply chain bottlenecks. Our production bases are fully integrated with digital twin simulation, automated coil winding, robotic vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) facilities, and synchronized logistics mapping.
This deep integration ensures absolute design consistency, repeatable structural testing, and shorter delivery lead times for large frame high-voltage motors (up to 630 frame and beyond). While European domestic supply chains are plagued by castings shortages and labor bottlenecks, our fully vertically integrated supply chain secures copper wire, high-grade silicon steel laminations, and heavy cast iron casings internally, ensuring fixed pricing and reliable shipping commitments to the Hamburg and Rotterdam ports.
Request Production Schedule & Lead TimesEvery motor is a product of rigorous mechanical and thermodynamic engineering. Here are the core sub-assemblies that ensure a service life spanning decades.
The rotor features a squirrel cage design. Cast aluminum rotors are produced using centrifugal aluminum casting or die-casting techniques, integrating rotor bars and end rings into a single-piece construction for outstanding starting torque. For larger capacity motors, copper bar rotors are employed, featuring reliable bar securing and end ring welding procedures. The protective ring design of high-speed motors ensures long-term reliability.
The coil is crafted from polyester film and reinforced with glass cloth, using low-powder or medium-powder mica tape with high mica content. Following the VPI (Vacuum Pressure Impregnation) process, a pristine white coil is cured. The insulation system is meticulously engineered to provide exceptional electrical performance, high mechanical strength, moisture resistance, and thermal stability.
Designed on a fully digital platform for structural and fluid multi-physics field simulations. The frame utilizes mature, high-strength cast iron or structural steel. It offers excellent heat dissipation properties, ample natural frequency isolation margins, and exceptional structural redundancy. It is engineered to endure significant mechanical shocks and maintain low vibration levels.
Comprises a fan cover body, air guide cylinder, protective window, and silencer plate. Its compact structure and lightweight design reduce vibration. The side air inlet optimizes ventilation paths, minimizing energy loss and noise. Sound-absorbing materials lower overall motor noise, and the IP22 rating prevents accidental contact with the rotating fan.
Through strategic global acquisitions, Wolong has integrated the world's finest electric motor brands under one unified manufacturing standard.
In 2011, Wolong acquired a 97.94% stake in the Austrian ATB Group, one of Europe's top three motor manufacturers. This acquisition brought the famous Morley brand into the group. Morley, with nearly 130 years of history, is synonymous with heavy-duty underground coal mining motors, engineering flameproof equipment of unmatched reliability for the global market.
Laurence Scott pioneered low-starting-current motors for British nuclear power plants and navy vessels. Along with Brook Crompton, a century-old leader in energy-efficient design, they enhance our product lines with advanced medium and low-voltage motors. The premium Brook Crompton "W" series offers reliable, adjustable-speed drive systems.
Schorch (est. 1882 in Germany) sets the standard for high-quality drives in oil, gas, and power generation. In 2018, GE's commercial and industrial motor division joined the Wolong partnership, boosting our heavy-duty industrial capabilities for chemical processing, water treatment, and metallurgy.
In 2015, China's largest research and production base for explosion-proof motors, Nanyang Explosion-proof Group, joined Wolong. Their motors are widely used in dangerous oil, gas, chemical, coal mining, and nuclear power projects worldwide.
