Kirloskar Electric was the first company in India to manufacture AC Motors way back in 1948. Since then it has manufactured millions of motors for domestic and International Market. Its initial technology support from BRUSH Electric UK & technical collaborations with NEI Peebles Electrical Machines, Scotland and AEG of Germany enables KEC to develop high capacity motors for various applications. A strategic alliance with FUJI Electric of Japan enabled the company to absorb and implement state of art technology for motors.

The product range in capacity and variety caters to multitude applications. KEC has electric motors for every conceivable application and industry. The wide industrial range is from 0.12 to 20000 kW in frames 63 to 1250. Motors are offered in open type, closed type and heat exchanger type enclosures. Voltages range from 340 to 13800 V. Class F insulation being standard for all motors, class H insulation is also offered for low voltage motors.

The rugged and highly reliable higher range motors are specifically designed for exacting duties. The modular design totally enclosed air to air heat exchanger is the first choice of industry for the more arduous applications. Compact rib cooled motors with unique internal cooling are used for duty atmospheres.

Kirloskar electric offers AC Generators from 1kVA to 20MVA, voltage from 220 to 11000 V, and speed from 3000 rpm down to 375rpm, frequencies 50 or 60Hz., or even special frequencies like 200 or 400Hz. These machines can have enclosures of open and closed type with air or water cool arrangements. Mechanical construction can have single or double bearing arrangements and variety of excitation system both brushless and brush type, with class ‘F’ or class ‘H’ insulation, meeting the performance they requirements of national and international standards. In the aspect of dimension, size, weight, aesthetics and performance they are comparable to the best of the world.

The Special motors list includes Roller Table motor, Mud Gun motor, Bell Annealing Furnace motor for steel mill applications. When India faced sanctions on supply for equipment for Nuclear Power Plants, KEC developed special Canned Pump Motors. Motors like explosion proof, increase safety and non-sparking ones used extensively in hazardous areas like coal mines, oil mines and petrochemical industries are available in a wide range. Specially designed adjustable speed drive motors in large numbers are working in various steel plants and other industries.
