Businesses in Hong Kong may utilize the Motor start research and analysis service provided by CareLabs. The primary objective of our motor start analysis service is to determine what peculiar occurrences occur when a large motor is started. There are more factors to consider before starting an electric motor in addition to ensuring that it is correctly connected to the line voltage. Unwanted tripping, high nominal currents, and fading or flickering lights are all indications that an electrical system needs maintenance. CareLabs will dispatch qualified staff to your location to collect both current and historical data on the motor installation. Using the gathered data and manufacturer’s information, calculations are then performed to estimate what will occur in the future and to devise solutions to mitigate any potential adverse consequences.

Using static and dynamic modelling, one may investigate motor-starting techniques. We focus mostly on dynamic motor starting research that attempts to simulate motor starting conditions such as:

  • To simulate the load flow solution of an electric motor, its measured starting impedance is employed.
  • The voltage drop method is used to calculate the current in a motor when it is turned on for the first time, whereas the short-circuit method is used to compute the current under pre-fault short circuit conditions.
  • When an accurate dynamic model of the electric motor circuit and load-torque characteristics is available, the dynamic model of the electric motor may be included into a typical transient stability technique to examine the consequences of the motor beginning.
  • In the lack of a comprehensive dynamic model of the electric motor, transient stability simulations may be employed.

Hong Kong Must Perform an Examination of Motor:

Modern industrial systems require motors, and the size of electric motors is expanding tremendously. If you switch on a large motor that is linked to the line, it might pose a threat to the electric motor, any local loads, and distant buses. For an electric motor to start, the terminal voltage must be at least 80% of the rated voltage or greater. Since the square of a motor’s terminal voltage is directly proportional to its load torque, voltage differential quickly influences the motor’s load torque characteristic.

If there is a significant voltage drop, the operating machines may endure greater stress than their “breakdown torque,” causing them to slow down or halt. Other types of loads, including lighting loads, delicate control systems, and electrical equipment, are also affected by the voltage drop. In addition, high beginning current reduces terminal voltage, necessitating an increase in current from all systems that service a steady load. Broken relays for low voltages have also been discovered.

When Is a Motor Start Analysis Required?

  • Prior to or at the time of purchasing a large engine.
  • If there is no generator and the motor rating exceeds 30% of the base KVA rating of the supply transformer.
  • If the generator is the only source of power for the system and the motor rating exceeds 10 to 15 percent of the generator’s KVA capacity, the generator should be replaced.
  • A motor start analysis may be required if many motors start simultaneously for an industrial operation.
  • Voltage drop issues are exacerbated when a motor with a lot of power is started, because smaller power supply often has less power. It may be feasible to gain a better understanding of the output of tiny generator-powered devices by examining how motors start.

An Analysis of the Benefits of Motor Start:

Analyses of how an engine begins Choose a motor or starting method with the optimal speed-torque characteristics for the task at hand. To prevent exceeding the maximum permitted torque of the apparatus, certain loads must be increased while being continuously monitored. A motor start analysis may always be used to examine the motor shaft. Consequently, it aids in determining how much torque the machinery can withstand. 

It is vital to do research on motors, beginning to determine how starting affects the voltage of the machine and if an electric motor can start and accelerate rapidly. CareLabs provides motor start tests conducted by trained experts to assist you evaluate the performance of your electric motor. In addition to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territories, and Lantau Island, we offer motor start analysis services in all major cities. Get in contact with us as soon as possible to organize your motor starting study or to acquire a price.
