Aside to C-H and other offshore readers — At least one major US motor manufacturer has sort of ‘copied’ the rest-of-the-world trend for motor-voltage ratings. [In the US, as opposed to wye-delta configured motors, the series/parallel stator-coil arrangement is more common in low-voltage models.]
In higher voltages, [>2kV] stock motors {~200-1000hp} are offered with 2300/4000V nameplates for use on 2400(∆) or 4160V(Y) distribution. It seems like we may have learned a little for other countries’ standard practices.
