High Power Electric Motor Market Industry Developments
May 2023 ABB announced it has completed its acquisition of the Siemens low voltage NEMA motor business. The transaction was originally announced August 11, 2022, and financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The business employs around 600 people and generated revenues of approximately $63 million in 2021. The acquisition of this business is part of the Motion business area’s profitable growth strategy. It strengthens ABB’s position as a leading industrial NEMA motor manufacturer, and it provides an even stronger platform from which ABB can better serve its global customers.
September 2022: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that together with Toshiba Mitsubishi-Electric Industrial Systems Corporation (TMEIC) they have developed an electrical motor-design support system incorporating Mitsubishi Electric's Maisart AI technology to dramatically shorten the time required to produce electrical motor designs that achieve the same performance as conventional design methods deployed manually by skilled engineers. TMEIC plans to adopt the system for internal operations in FY 2024. The new system can be used to design electrical motors for pumps, compressors and fans application in industries.
When designing such motors, design engineers conventionally must repeatedly adjust design specifications to balance performance versus design, such as power efficiency versus motor size.
