Premium three-phase induction and synchronous motors designed for major municipal water pipelines, iron/steel processing plants, and marine terminals throughout the Bosphorus region.
Istanbul, as a vital transcontinental gateway bridging Europe and Asia, lies at the heart of Turkey's heavy industrial manufacturing. Together with surrounding industrial belts in Kocaeli, Bursa, and Tekirdağ, the Marmara region represents over 45% of Turkey's total industrial output. Large-scale infrastructure projects, expansion of chemical manufacturing complexes, advanced metallurgy operations, and the modernization of municipal wastewater processing plants (run by entities like İSKİ) are driving demand for highly efficient, reliable electrical drive systems.
Under the European Green Deal and the Turkey-EU Customs Union modernization efforts, Turkish industrial operations are actively replacing legacy, energy-intensive drives with high-efficiency medium and high voltage AC motors. Operating in environments with heavy load swings, aggressive chemical exposure, or critical continuous operations demands motors constructed to the highest standards. We serve this fast-evolving Turkish industrial hub by providing custom-engineered high voltage AC motors, combining European design pedigree with optimized global production supply chains.
A powerhouse built on over 30 years of motor technological developments, globally certified production, and brand legacy.
Shaanxi Nanfang Motor Technology Co., Ltd. is the authorized global distributor of Wolong Electric Drive Group Co., Ltd. founded in 1984 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2002 (code SH600580). Wolong has expanded its footprint through strategic acquisitions of renowned century-old global motor brands. Wolong now commands 3 main manufacturing bases, 39 factories, and 3 high-tech R&D centers across the globe.
By bringing prestigious brands under its umbrella, Wolong has solidified its technological edge:
Ensuring compliance with local Turkish TSE norms, European Union safety policies, and international marine and explosion-proof protocols.
Tested and certified explosion-proof ratings (Ex d, Ex de, Ex e, Ex nA) designed to withstand combustible chemical gases, petroleum processes, and dust atmospheres prevalent in regional Marmara refineries.
Adherence to the latest ISO standards and CE Marking guarantees seamless import customs clearance at Istanbul ports and complies with the occupational safety standards set by Turkish ministries.
Full support for North American standardizations and TestSafe protocols, simplifying cross-border technical engineering, export projects, and heavy global supply integrations.
By blending European engineering design criteria (ATB, Schorch, Morley) with optimized Chinese manufacturing hubs, Shaanxi Nanfang Motor provides a strong combination of cost, quality, and fast turnaround. China's advanced industrial supply chain allows us to secure premium raw materials, such as high-permeability cold-rolled silicon steel sheets, high-grade copper wire, and heavy-duty structural cast steel, at highly competitive rates.
Furthermore, this supply chain integration enables shorter lead times compared to domestic European manufacturers. We manage end-to-end logistics, facilitating efficient clearance through Turkish import customs and ensuring that high-voltage motors are delivered safely to your project sites or workshops in Istanbul and adjacent industrial zones.
A closer look at the advanced design features that make our AC high voltage motors perform under the most severe continuous operations.
Our high-voltage motors offer squirrel cage designs, employing centrifugal aluminum casting or precision pressure die-casting. The molten pure aluminum flows into the rotor slots under high pressure, integrating rotor bars and end rings into a solid structure. This prevents localized heat buildup, and delivers high starting torque. For larger frame sizes and heavier starting conditions, copper bar rotors are utilized, featuring secure copper bar locking structures and advanced end ring induction welding to eliminate rotor degradation over cycles.
Stator coils are constructed with Class F or H insulation, wrapped with premium polyester film and glass-fiber reinforced mica tapes. The stator assembly undergoes a full Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) cycle. Under high vacuum, air and moisture are removed from the windings, and solvent-free epoxy resin is injected under high pressure. This process fills all gaps, creating a solid winding package with high electrical insulation, excellent mechanical strength, moisture resistance, and optimal thermal conductivity.
Utilizing advanced digital multi-physics field simulations, our motor frames are modeled for optimal heat transfer, structural strength, and acoustic signature. Engineered with cast iron or high-tensile structural steel plates, the frames offer high vibration absorption margins and mechanical rigidity. This structural integrity minimizes alignment issues, helps isolate operational vibrations, and provides reliable operation under sudden industrial shaft loads.
Acoustic comfort and ventilation efficiency are critical in modern plants. Our high-voltage motors employ a low-noise fan cover system, featuring double air guide cylinders, protective steel windows, and internal acoustic absorption plates. Side-mounted air inlets prevent dust accumulation, bypass structural obstacles, and reduce aerodynamic turbulence. The housing maintains IP22 safety ratings (and up to IP55 or IP65 based on client request), ensuring complete safety for operators and components.

How the evolution of motor controls, energy conservation standards, and predictive analytics are reshaping motor purchasing.
As operating costs make up to 95% of a motor's lifetime expenses, regional manufacturing operations are focusing on IE4 induction and IE5 Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM). By selecting ultra-premium efficiency drive configurations, heavy industries can reduce energy consumption by 4% to 15%, delivering quick payback times and aligning with national emission targets.
Modern high voltage motors are increasingly run on Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to match changing mechanical loads. Operating on VFDs requires specialized rotor and stator construction features, such as reinforced insulation systems and insulated bearings (often utilizing ceramic ball or hybrid sleeve bearings) to prevent electrical breakdown from shaft currents.
Integrating vibration detectors (such as OLI Ex sensors) and thermal resistance sensors directly into the bearing housing enables predictive maintenance. Industrial plants can monitor real-time temperature rises, load currents, and vibrations. Analyzing this telemetry allows companies to schedule maintenance during planned shutdowns, preventing unexpected failures.
