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

The cleanest, most affordable, and fastest way to purchase dependable electricity is to increase energy efficiency. Around 46% of all electricity used and 69% of all energy used in the industrial sector is consumed by motors. One of the most important concerns that many businesses must deal with is energy use. The inadequate architecture and inefficient use of power must be addressed first. The main reasons for high electric costs and difficulties meeting the increased demand for energy are poor design and inefficient use. The majority of motors operate between 50% and 100% of their rated load, even though they are most efficient at 75% of their rated load, which begins to decrease as the motor ages. An electric motor’s efficiency starts to naturally decline beyond 50% load.  

Four aspects determine how well a motor performs: 

  • Poor power quality has a direct influence on a motor’s performance since transients, imbalances, sags, swells, and harmonics can seriously hurt a motor or even make it stop working.
  • Efficiency and overall performance are impacted when a motor delivers rotational force to drive a mechanical load at the rated speed of the spinning shaft. The electric motor is reliable since it runs at the designated frequency and torque speed. The effectiveness of an electric motor may be assessed by measuring torque.
  • The details of how the electric motor works and what to expect from it are as follows: Mechanical overworking of a motor puts strain on parts like the connection, bearings, and insulation. This lowers the motor’s efficiency and increases the likelihood that it may fail or stop working early.
  • In conclusion, a motor’s effectiveness directly affects the bottom line. The first step in predictive and preventive maintenance is gathering baseline data.

One to six days’ worth of yearly plant shutdowns occur from 75% of industrial motor failures. 90% of motor failures happened within a month after a warning, and 36% happened the very next day. in order to prevent motor failure and operational issues You can prevent issues and improve the dependability and performance of your electric motors by routinely assessing, analyzing, inspecting, and auditing them.  

Information on Enhancing Motor Performance:

Over a 53-year period, raise an induction motor’s efficiency by 68%. (1960 to 2013). The efficiency of electric induction motors will rise over the course of a year as losses are decreased. An induction motor’s energy usage has reduced through time (statistics for a 45 kW, 4p type motor). CareLabs tests the efficiency and dependability of electric motors in a range of commercial buildings and establishments. We examine and pinpoint the issue, enabling you to cut losses and boost motor efficiency. We work hard to give our clients quality service as skilled and experienced professionals.  

CareLabs‘ services offer the following benefits: 

  • Is always responsible for what we do.
  • Ensure your customers receive first-rate service.
  • Reacts to your discussions quickly.
  • Our team is strengthened by having a competent and trustworthy electrician.
  • Knowledge of the Standards.
  • Schedule a time that works for you.
  • To ensure your pleasure, provide a digital report that contains all the information.

Techniques for Evaluating Electric Motor Performance: 

  • We gather all site-related paperwork for inspection prior to the audit.
  • To improve your position, make a check list and a one-line diagram.
  • To continue the audit, use the electrical motor inspection check list.
  • After checking off everything on the checklist, experts test and examine the electric motor.
  • Obtain the examination’s findings for the electric motor.
  • Verify that the power quality and load flow are both in good working order.
  • If problems do occur, our expert will see to it that they are fixed.
  • Make sure your motor’s performance meets national standards.
  • Give you a digital report with safety suggestions.

CareLabs conducts motor acceleration studies to make sure the motor runs well under high loads and increases productivity (by reducing losses). Eliminating losses also makes motors more dependable. We provide motor start analysis services in all major cities, including Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, and Waterford.
