How can you Evaluate the Functionality and Dependability of Commercial Motors?

Making energy usage more efficient is the most environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and time-efficient way to provide reliable electricity. Motors account for about 46% of total electricity consumption and 69% of total energy consumption in the industrial sector. The use of energy is one of the most critical concerns that many businesses confront. The main issue that must be addressed is inadequate architecture and inappropriate power utilization. The key reasons for high energy expenditures and difficulty in meeting the increased demand for power are poor design and inappropriate consumption. Although they are most efficient at 75% of their rated load, which starts to decline as the motor ages, most motors operate between 50% and 100% of their rated load. An electric motor’s efficiency starts to drop on its own at 50% load.

The performance of a motor is influenced by four factors:

  • Poor power quality has a direct influence on how well a motor operates: transients, imbalances, sags, swells, and harmonics can all cause severe damage and, in severe situations, cause the motor to stop functioning completely.
  • Torque is created when a motor generates rotational force to drive a mechanical load at the rated speed of the spinning shaft. The electric motor is reliable because it works at the rated frequency and torque speed. When torque is measured, it is possible to determine how well an electric motor is functioning.
  • The following details describe how an electric motor works and what to expect from it: Mechanical overworking of a motor strains components such as the connection, bearings, and insulation. This affects the motor’s efficiency and may cause it to fail or stop working sooner than intended.
  • To summarize, the efficiency of a motor has a direct influence on the bottom line. Gathering baseline data is the initial step in predictive and preventative maintenance.

Every year, 75% of industrial motor failures cause plants to shut down for 1-6 days. 90% of motor failures happened within a month after receiving a warning, and 36% happened within a day. To prevent motor failure and operational issues You may prevent issues and increase the efficiency of your electric motors by routinely evaluating, analysing, inspecting, and auditing them. dependability. 

Motor Performance Data:

Over the period of 53 years, the efficiency of an induction motor increased by 68%. (1960 to 2013). The amount of energy consumed by an induction motor has reduced throughout time (data of 45 kW, 4p design motor). CareLabs analyses the efficiency and dependability of electric motors in a wide range of commercial buildings and industries. We inspect and identify problems, allowing you to decrease losses and improve motor efficiency. Our goal as competent and experienced technicians is to serve our clients with outstanding service.

The services provided by CareLabs have several advantages:

  • We are always held responsible for what we do.
  • Give your customers outstanding service.
  • Respond to your chats as quickly as possible.
  • Our staff benefits from having a qualified and competent electrician.
  • Understanding of Finland Standards.
  • Plan a time that works for you.
  • Provide you with a digital report with all of the data to ensure your satisfaction.

Methods for Evaluating the Efficiency of Electric Motors:

  • Before commencing the audit, we gather all site-related papers for review.
  • Create a one-line diagram and an inspection list to improve your standing.
  • Using the electrical motor inspection checklist, continue with the audit.
  • The professionals test and inspect the electrical motor after finishing the checklist.
  • Obtain the results of the electric motor inspection.
  • Examine the flow of load and the quality of the power for any problems.
  • If any problems arise, our professional will ensure that they are remedied.
  • Check to check whether your motor meets national performance standards.
  • Give you a digital report with safety advice.

CareLabs conducts motor acceleration studies to guarantee that the motor operates correctly under high-rated load conditions and that productivity is enhanced (by mitigating the losses). Eliminating losses also increases motor dependability. We provide motor start analysis services in major cities such as Helsinki, Vantaa, Espoo, and Tampere.
