Asynchronous Induction Motors

Asynchronous induction motors are the most widely used motor in electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems. While they are not capable of the same high-RPM efficiencies as permanent magnet motors (PMMs), they are industry-accepted, proven, and easy to manufacture. The standard induction motor is relatively simple to operate and is available in a wide range of sizes and configurations.

Novomet manufactures a wide range of induction motor sizes including 378 series (96 mm), 406 series (103 mm), 460 series (117 mm), 512 series (130 mm), 562 series (143 mm), and 744 series (189 mm). This range enables you to optimize motor-pump combinations and improve ESP efficiency across well types and conditions.

 Asynchronous induction motors are available with various modifications. Examples include the addition of a tubular cooler for reservoir temperatures up to 200°C (390°F) and adding a two-sided shaft output used in inverted installations and in attaching solids separators.

Our electric induction motors come filled with oil and consist of a fixed stator, a rotating rotor, a current lead head, and a base. A current lead block and thrust bearing assembly in the upper part of the motor body absorb axial loads from the weight of the rotor. The base is located at the bottom of the motor and includes an oil-cleaning filter. The head and base are hermetically threaded to the stator housing to maintain a strong seal and extend runlife.
