There are bigger motors, seems to me we have discussed this before in this forum. But it depends on your definition of "motor". The Bath County, Virginia Pumped Storage Facility run by Dominion Power is using turbine generators that, when run in reverse, become essentially 642,800HP electric pump motors.
