Webinar Overview
Discover how solid-rotor technology revolutionizes the performance of standard induction electric motors by extending their capabilities and eliminating the need for gearboxes. In this session, we’ll explore how low-voltage solutions can achieve power outputs ranging from 500 to 2,000 kW, and how the latest medium-voltage solutions can deliver power beyond 2 MW for demanding applications.
Learn about the advantages of the innovative squirrel-cage solid rotor design, which offers a higher peripheral speed, enabling more compact motor designs and improved rotor dynamic capabilities, even with larger impellers. We’ll also discuss how The Switch is ready to explore even more demanding applications where this technology overcomes the challenges of material compatibility and harsh environments on the motor components. The Switch is pushing the boundaries of electric motor technology.
