Exceptional Power Density in a Compact Frame

Wolong Electric America’s Quantum LMV Horizontal Motor delivers up to 1500 horsepower at 460V, redefining the performance limits of low-voltage motors. Housed in the robust Quantum WPII 580 frame, this motor offers the same footprint as many medium-voltage units, enabling seamless integration into existing infrastructure. Operators can significantly boost horsepower without reconfiguring their systems, simplifying installation and reducing maintenance demands. With a 50% increase in power density over standard low-voltage motors, typically capped at 1000 HP, the Quantum LMV allows customers to reach 1500 HP using a single motor. This eliminates the need for multiple low-voltage units or an expensive upgrade to medium-voltage systems.


Premium Efficiency and Simplified Integration

Built for both performance and ease of use, the Quantum LMV is a premium-efficiency motor equipped with standard features like BTDs, RTDs, space heaters, insulated flange-mounted sleeve bearings, and additional accessory boxes. These features support true plug-and-play installation, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

Available in voltages up to 575V and 600V, the Quantum LMV is fully compatible with variable frequency drives (VFDs) and features inverter-grade insulation and insulated bearings for reliable performance in moisture-prone and harsh environments.


Certified for Demanding Industrial Applications

Engineered for longevity and safety, the Quantum LMV meets API 541 and 547 standards, carries CSA certification, and is approved for use in Division 2, T3 AIT classified environments. Its robust form coil epoxy VPI insulation system and maintenance-free bearing options reduce upkeep and ensure consistent operation, even in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 50°C.

Third-party certifications and rigorous design standards make the Quantum LMV a trusted solution for oil and gas, power generation, and other demanding sectors where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.


High Performance, Lower Costs

The Quantum LMV delivers 70–80% greater productivity without requiring costly step-up transformers or a full switch to medium-voltage infrastructure. By supporting high horsepower in existing low-voltage setups, the motor enables faster ROI, reduced capital investment, and streamlined operations.

Facilities seeking to scale output can do so affordably, avoiding the complexities and expenses associated with medium-voltage drives or dual-motor configurations.


Versatile Across Industries and Applications

The Quantum LMV is ideal for applications where high horsepower is needed but low-voltage standards must be maintained. Key industries and equipment include:

●       Oil and gas

●       Municipal power generation

●       Centrifugal compressors

●       Water chillers

●       Pumps, fans, and blowers


Whether doubling production or making significant throughput gains, the Quantum LMV supports growth without major electrical system changes.


Powered by a Legacy of Innovation

Wolong Electric America builds on over 130 years of engineering expertise and GE motor manufacturing heritage. The Quantum LMV Horizontal Motor reflects this legacy, combining innovation with proven reliability to help customers increase productivity and reduce operating costs.


For operations looking to expand power output without overhauling infrastructure, the Quantum LMV is a smart, forward-thinking solution.
