We’ve manufactured motors and generators for over 125 years.

In 1879, GE founder, Thomas Edison constructed the first electric motor for a 110 to 120 Volt line at Menlo Park, NJ. This device still exists and is operative! It is located in the Edison Historical Collection in New Jersey.

GE’s experience in the Oil and Gas industry spans over a century

GE offers a complete motor/drive/generator solution for most upstream, midstream and downstream applications. With an increasing need for Oil and Gas exploration, production, storage, transportation and refining, the environments are becoming more extreme. It may be a deep offshore production facility, a Gas to Liquids (GTL) facility in Saudi Arabia or the extreme cold environments of the Canadian Oil Sand fields. Motors and generators provide a lifeline to driven equipment, which is critical to the production and operation of these facilities. Strict adherence to industry and customer specifications are crucial to assure optimal uptime. GE motors can adhere to many standards such as: NEMA, IEC, API 541 4th ed, API 546, API 547, API 661, IEEE-841, CSA, CE, ABS, ATEX, Ex-p, Ex-n, Ex-e, Div 1, Div 2.
