Hello All,

What is the largest horsepower switched reluctance motor and drive out on the market at present? I see that LeTourneau has several wheel mining loaders that use this technology, the largest being about 2,300 HP. Has anyone heard of or seen anything larger? If so, what's the application?

Thanks!
