Oil Production

The growing demand for three-phase power in the oil producing regions of Manitoba, led Manitoba Hydro to test the Written-Pole® single-phase motor on an oil well near Virden, Manitoba.

The 20 hp, 1800 rpm Written-Pole® motor used in this application replaced an existing three-phase motor and static phase converter. In addition to reducing energy consumption by over 15%, the Written-Pole® motor allowed for more consistent operation of the well, reduced starting wear and tear on the drive system, and eliminated motor related disturbances on the single-phase distribution system.
