The altitude at the installation in China is 2000M. The motor supplier is Chinese which is the main reason for my inquiry so I can be sure that they are taking the necessary measures to provide a motor that will run the equipment. Ambient temperatures will range between -30°C and 36°C with an...

I think there are cooling issues and I'm pretty sure that more copper has to be added to the windings so the motor basically is oversized for the application apart from the high altitude. I'm wondering at what altitude this becomes a consideration and to what degree are the original parameters...
I work for a company that uses large motors (up to 37,000HP)and know that high altitude affects the motor design. Can someone provide some more detailed information on this topic?
