Engineered for high efficiency, reliable insulation class F/H, and customized grid specifications.
In the wake of Central and Eastern Europe’s rapid industrial transition, Hungary has positioned itself as a critical logistics and manufacturing hub. Propelled by the Hungarian Government's "Keleti Nyitás" (Eastern Opening) policy, the nation is observing unprecedented levels of foreign direct investment (FDI). Modern gigafactories, chemical complexes, and mining hubs are appearing across regions like Debrecen, Győr, Miskolc, and Budapest. Central to these industrial complexes are heavy-duty, highly reliable driving mechanisms: High Voltage (HV) Motors.
Understanding the unique operational requirements of the Hungarian grid, local environmental mandates, and standard European directives is vital for plant operators and global procurement managers alike. High-voltage asynchronous and synchronous motors ranging from 6kV to 10kV operate as the main cardiovascular system of modern plants, powering large-scale centrifugal pumps, high-pressure compressors, ventilation systems, mine mills, and crushers. Achieving maximum energy efficiency and operational uptime remains a core driver for engineering procurement.
Hungary operates within the European EN 50160 grid quality standards. For heavy industries, grid stability and harmonics regulation are paramount. Large motors connecting directly to medium or high voltage lines (typically 6,000V or 10,000V in heavy industrial sectors) must feature advanced starting capabilities to minimize inrush currents. As a result, technologies such as slip-ring (wound rotor) systems (YRKK, YRKS, and YR series) or advanced variable frequency speed regulation systems (YJP series) are in high demand across the country.
Moreover, local sectors such as the MOL Group’s petrochemical plants in Tiszaújváros and Százhalombatta demand explosion-proof solutions (YBX3, YBX4, and YFB3 series) that conform strictly to ATEX directives and IECEx standards. In these hazardous locations, motors are engineered with dust explosion protection and flameproof enclosures, securing operations against volatile chemical vapors and combustible particles.
Complete alignment with EU Eco-Design directives, ATEX regulations, and CE certifications ensuring worry-free integration into Hungarian industrial setups.
Custom designs matching unique shaft lengths, double shaft extensions, thermal sensors, and dual-cooling systems (Air-to-Air vs Water-to-Air).
Seamless shipping directly to Central European hubs, complete customs clearance documents, and full transport insurance coverage.
In the procurement of high-voltage industrial equipment, total cost of ownership (TCO) is a combination of initial capital expenditure, operational efficiency, and maintenance cycles. China's manufacturing ecosystems have evolved from high-volume production plants into global leaders of high-precision, premium engineering. Xi’an Lite SIMO Motor Co., Ltd represents the peak of this industrial evolution.
By utilizing highly integrated raw material pipelines (premium cold-rolled silicon steel sheets, high-grade copper wire, and robust cast iron/steel plate enclosures) and advanced manufacturing techniques (VPI - Vacuum Pressure Impregnation for insulation, computerized rotor dynamic balancing, and comprehensive load-testing stations), SIMO delivers heavy industrial electric motors that match or exceed Western European counterparts at optimized investment budgets.
Whether it is the YKK series with air-to-air cooling (IC611) for dusty cement mills, or the YKS series with water-to-air cooling (IC81W) for clean water pumping stations requiring low ambient noise levels, the electrical and mechanical designs are optimized to operate continuously under extreme loads. Advanced Class F insulation (tested to Class B temperature rise limits) ensures that even under fluctuated thermal conditions, the insulation remains integer, extending the motor's operational lifetime to more than 20 years.
Xi’an Lite SIMO Motor Co., Ltd is an electric company, main enterprise specializing in the manufacturing of large/medium-sized, high/low voltage AC motors, DC motors, synchronous motor, and explosion-proof motor in the Chinese mechanical industry. SIMO is a comprehensive manufacturing and service supplier of motor design, manufacturing, mechanical processing, mold making, assembling. The Company ranks TOP in China’s motor industry as to its scale of production, and has maintained fast-growing development trend for consecutive years.
From a state-owned enterprise to a global high-voltage motor manufacturing powerhouse.
The Company was founded in 1955 originally and now has more than 60 years history of motor manufacturing and selling. The registered capital is 21.5 million RMB. SIMO has 3 manufacturing factories, one subsidiary factory, with fixed assets 380 million RMB and more than 1172 sets of advanced equipment. There are more than 1200 employees, more than 260 technical engineers, including 21 senior engineers, 15 experts engineers.
It has its R&D and manufacturing cover all types of motors, with its products of 34 major series, more than 1,800 varieties, and more than 19,500 specifications, the power range from 0.35kW to 25,000 kW. Main motor products are YX, YXKK, YXKS series high voltage high efficiency three phase asynchronous motor, YR, YRKK, YRKS series wound rotor high voltage motor, YE3, YE4, YE5 high efficiency series asynchronous motor, YVFE3, YVFE4, YVFE5 series variable frequency and variable speed high/low voltage motor, YBX3, YBX4, YBX5 series explosion-proof series high/low voltage three phase asynchronous motor; T, TD, TK, TDMK series synchronous motor, TFW350-5000KW series large size synchronous generator and Z2, Z4 and Z series DC motor.
SIMO passed ISO9001 Quality System Certification, EU “CE", US “UL”, Russian "GOST", and so on. Electric motors are widely applied in electricity, coal, petroleum, mining, metallurgy, railway, transportation, chemical industry, agriculture, water economy, aviation, navigation and high technologies and other areas in China and abroad.
In accordance with European Union Regulation (EU) 2019/1781 setting eco-design requirements for electric motors and variable speed drives, new installations must fulfill strict efficiency classes. SIMO’s latest high-voltage systems are engineered to achieve equivalent IE3, IE4, and IE5 thresholds. Because electric motors account for nearly 70% of total electricity consumption in typical heavy industrial processing plants, moving from a standard-efficiency motor to an IE4 super-premium efficiency motor can save thousands of megawatt-hours annually.
Take, for instance, a 1,000 kW high voltage pump motor operating continuously (8,000 hours per year) in a water facility near Miskolc, Hungary. Improving efficiency by just 1.5% yields an annual saving of approximately 120,000 kWh of electrical energy. Over a standard 15-year lifecycle, this single upgrade prevents hundreds of tons of carbon dioxide emissions and returns the initial motor acquisition cost multiple times over.
Reliability is determined primarily by the stator winding insulation system. SIMO high voltage motors employ a sophisticated Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) process using solvent-free epoxy resins. During VPI, air and moisture are completely evacuated from the stator windings, and resin is injected under high pressure. This creates a solid, moisture-impervious, and mechanically rigid mass.
