MOTOR MANUFACTURER · Shanxi, CHINA

Shanxi Motor

Shanxi Electric Motor Manufacturing lists low-voltage efficiency, variable-frequency and medium high-voltage families. Its YE6 and YVF3 entries serve different control strategies; the high-voltage line adds site supply and starting-system questions. Compare a specific winding and duty, not the broad family names.

Shanxi Motor: compare fixed-speed, inverter and high-voltage duties

01 / SELECT BY HOW THE MACHINE RUNS

Three different procurement paths emerge from the manufacturer's own catalogue

YE6: compare actual operating-point losses

The manufacturer positions YE6 as a very-high-efficiency three-phase induction family for industrial drives in steel, chemical and power settings. Its public page describes an efficiency design target relative to YE5, but a company-wide average and a hypothetical annual saving are not a performance guarantee for an ordered motor. For a fixed-speed pump or fan, compare exact frame, poles, rated voltage, load profile and test-method efficiency at the actual duty point.

Confirm before ordering Send the existing motor plate, measured load, operating hours, driven-machine curve, starter and site voltage. Request the offered YE6 model's certified efficiency/loss table, rated and partial-load points, installation drawing and applicable local energy requirement.

YVF3: define the motor and inverter as a package

The catalogue lists YVF3 as a variable-frequency speed-control motor, but the body of that official YVF3 page mistakenly describes a YE3 general-purpose motor. The page therefore does not establish a trustworthy YVF3 speed range, cooling mode or low-speed torque envelope. Do not transfer the YE3 text to a VFD quotation.

Confirm before ordering Provide VFD make, DC bus or line supply, switching setting, torque-speed duty, lowest continuous speed, cable length, feedback and insulation needs. Ask for a revision-specific YVF3 sheet, inverter-compatible bearing and cooling arrangement, thermal map and motor-drive test responsibility.

Medium high voltage: decide the starting and plant interface first

Separate official pages list ZR at 6 or 10 kV and a JN medium box-type line. A medium-voltage order is not simply a scaled-up low-voltage frame: switchgear capability, starting voltage dip, insulation coordination, site altitude, ventilation and protective relay settings become part of selection. The JN page claims a current energy-efficiency standard; obtain evidence for the precise rated unit rather than treating a series claim as its test report.

Confirm before ordering Include supply voltage and frequency, transformer and short-circuit data, starting method, driven inertia/torque curve, ambient and altitude, foundation and coupling drawings. Ask for the exact ZR/JN model data, start calculation, insulation and temperature-rise tests, and agreed site-acceptance scope.

02 / WHERE A BUYER CAN BE MISLED

A catalogue headline is not a signed data sheet

YE6 savings need a real baseline

The official YE6 page uses a very large hypothetical annual production and operating-hours scenario to illustrate savings. That number does not predict this buyer's site consumption. Compute expected kWh from the specific motor losses, measured load, annual hours and electricity tariff, including any VFD or transmission losses.

YVF3 page has a detectable copy mismatch

The official YVF3 title and navigation identify variable-frequency duty while its short body names YE3. This profile flags the conflict so a buyer asks for a current signed YVF3 technical sheet and an exact order code. It does not silently promote that text into verified variable-speed specifications.

High-voltage model tests are configuration-specific

The JN page describes ventilation and efficiency design but does not provide a selected frame's complete type-test file. Clarify whether the quote includes cooler, space heater, RTDs, bearing monitoring, terminal box and any site-specific protection. A factory capability statement does not prove each proposed voltage and pole combination has passed the same test.

03 / MAKE BIDS COMPARABLE

Send one duty sheet, then compare like with like

What belongs in the inquiry?

State machine type, process load and starts per hour; required shaft speed/torque across the cycle; supply and switchgear or VFD; existing motor plate and mounting; IP and cooling needs; ambient, altitude and contamination; target standard and destination; and which party owns alignment and commissioning.

What belongs in the response?

Request exact motor model and revision, winding, frame and outline, certified performance or guaranteed test values, duty and temperature-rise basis, starting/drive interface, bearing and cooling arrangements, routine/type-test scope and exclusions. Separate a replacement motor quote from any promised energy saving or whole-system guarantee.
