How Can Efficiency and Reliability of Commercial Motors Be Evaluated?

Increasing energy efficiency is the fastest, healthiest, and most cost-effective method to obtain dependable power.

Industrial motors account for 69% of all energy consumption and 46% of all electricity consumption. Energy consumption is one of the most significant issues faced by many organizations. Poor design and inefficient electricity usage must be addressed first. Poor design and improper utilization are primarily responsible for high energy expenditures and the inability to meet rising energy demand. Many motors operate between 50 and 100 percent of their rated load, but the utmost efficacy is only 75 percent of rated load, and it tends to decrease with age. Automatically, electric motor efficiency begins to decline at 50% capacity.

Four Factors Influencing Motor Performance:

Transients, imbalance, sags, surges, and harmonics can cause severe damage to a machine or even cause it to malfunction if they are present in the power supply.
When a motor generates rotational force to drive a mechanical burden at the rated speed of the rotating shaft, the effect of torque on effectiveness and overall performance is observed. The electric motor is dependable because it operates at the specified frequency and torque speed. The measurement of torque provides a precise indication of the condition of an electric motor.
The expected efficacy of the electric motor and its operating conditions: Overloading the motor mechanically strains its internal components, including the coupling, bearings, and insulation. This decreases the efficacy of the motor and increases the likelihood of malfunction or premature failure.
Collecting baseline data, which is a direct consequence of motor efficacy, is the first step in predictive and preventive maintenance.

75% of industrial motor failures result in an annual outage of 1-6 days per plant. After the early warning, 36% of motor failures occurred within a day, and 90% occurred within a month. To prevent motor failure and operational problems, Regular assessments, analyses, examinations, and audits may aid in reducing all electrical motor issues and enhancing the motors’ dependability and performance.

Details on Improving Motor Performance:

Increase the efficacy of an induction motor by 68% over a 53-year span (1960 to 2013). To enhance the performance of electrical induction motors, annual losses must be decreased. The energy efficiency of induction motors has improved over time (data from a 45 kW, 4p design motor).
