Energy efficiency, reliability and compliance with international standards are among the key factors that determine the competitiveness of electric motor manufacturers. For medium-voltage motors in particular, test and validation infrastructure is essential for documenting product quality and gaining acceptance in global markets. Türkiye-based electric motor manufacturer AEMOT Electric Motors & Generators has added to its investments in this area by commissioning a full-load medium-voltage test system.

With roots dating back to 1983 and established in Aksaray in 2016, AEMOT manufactures general-purpose electric motors, high-efficiency industrial motors, renewable energy generators and electric vehicle motors. The company operates from a production facility with a total area of 1,500,000 m² and 45,000 m² of covered space.

Full-load medium-voltage test capability

AEMOT Electric Motors & Generators Vice Chairman of the Board Mustafa Altuntaş shared details of the company’s new test investment in an interview with the trade magazine.

Altuntaş said the company had commissioned a full-load medium-voltage test system not previously available in Türkiye:

“AEMOT Electric Motors & Generators, part of the Altuntaş Group, has commissioned a full-load medium-voltage test system that did not previously exist in our country. This system, realised with an investment of approximately €3 million, represents a strategic step in terms of quality, validation and our international competitiveness.”

According to the company, the investment makes it possible to carry out the following in a single centre:

Motor tests at 3 kV, 6 kV and 11 kV voltage levels for ratings up to 1.6 MW,
Generator tests up to 11 MW,
Advanced measurement and analysis systems compliant with international standards.

With this infrastructure, AEMOT aims to validate its products under different operating conditions and run faster, more reliable and more sustainable test processes.

Quality validation comes to the fore in electric motors

Rising efficiency classes and increasingly critical applications are making investment in test infrastructure more important across the electric motor sector. Testing medium-voltage motors used in energy, mining, cement, iron and steel, water management and process industries under conditions close to real operation is regarded as an important requirement for operational reliability.

AEMOT’s test centre carries out on-load performance measurements, thermal analysis, insulation tests, vibration and acoustic analysis, and efficiency validation. The company also applies test procedures in line with IEC, IEEE and NEMA standards to support the acceptance of its products in international markets.

Focus on high-efficiency motors

AEMOT’s product portfolio includes low-voltage motors, medium- and high-voltage motors, synchronous reluctance motors, permanent magnet motors, generators and electric vehicle motors. The company is working in particular on IE4 and IE5 efficiency class motor solutions to reduce energy consumption.

More than 20 engineers and technical specialists at its R&D centre focus on next-generation motor technologies, efficiency-enhancing designs and solutions for special applications.

A strategic investment for European targets

Mustafa Altuntaş said the investment supports not only production capacity but also the company’s global growth plans.

“This investment forms a strong foundation for our growth targets in global markets, particularly in Europe,” Altuntaş said.

AEMOT exports to more than 25 countries and continues its operations in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. With the new test infrastructure, the company aims to focus on motor and generator applications in higher power classes for international projects.

As energy efficiency and performance validation become increasingly important in electric motors, investment in test infrastructure is among the key factors shaping manufacturers’ global competitiveness. AEMOT’s medium-voltage test system is regarded as one of the investments raising the technical capability of Türkiye’s motor industry.
