Increasing energy efficiency is the quickest, cleanest, and most cost-effective approach to obtain dependable electricity. In the industrial sector, motors account for around 46% of the total power and 69% of the total energy required. Energy consumption is one of the most important problems that many organizations encounter. It is first necessary to address the faulty architecture and wasteful power usage. Poor design and inappropriate use are the major contributors to high energy costs and the inability to keep up with the growing demand for power. Although most motors run at 50% to 100% of their rated load, the maximum efficiency is 75% of rated load, and it tends to drop as a motor becomes older. At 50% load, an electric motor’s efficiency begins to automatically fall.

Four Factors Affecting Motor Performance:

Poor power quality has a direct impact on a motor’s performance since harmonics, transients, imbalance, sags, and swells can cause major damage to a machine or even cause it to malfunction.
When a motor produces rotational force to move a mechanical load at the rated speed of the spinning shaft, the effect of torque on efficiency and overall performance is evident. Because it runs at the specified frequency and torque speed, the electric motor is dependable. An accurate indicator of an electric motor’s condition is provided by torque measurement.
The electric motor’s anticipated performance and operational circumstances: The coupling, bearings, insulation, and other internal components of the motor are all put under stress when it is mechanically overloaded. As a result, the motor becomes less efficient and is more likely to malfunction or fail quickly.
The first stage in predictive and preventive maintenance is to gather baseline data, which is a direct result of motor efficiency.

75% of industrial motor failures result in a 1-6–day yearly plant shutdown. 90% of motor failures happened within a month of the early warning, with 36% happening within a day. To prevent motor failure and operating problems Regular evaluations, analyses, inspections, and audits can assist to lessen any issues with electrical motors and enhance their dependability and performance.

Details on Improving Motor Function:

During a 53-year period, enhanced the efficiency of an induction motor by 68%. (1960 to 2013). Reduce losses in electrical induction motors over a year to increase efficiency. The energy efficiency of induction motors has increased throughout time (data of 45 kW, 4p design motor). CareLabs assesses the durability and efficiency of electrical motors for a range of commercial structures and businesses. To assist you in reducing losses and enhancing motor performance, we evaluate and identify issues. As informed and talented specialists, it is our mission to offer our clients first-rate services.

Advantages of using CareLabs’ services:

Takes responsibility for our work.

Methods for Conducting Audits of the Electrical Motor Efficiency:

Before the audit begins, we acquire all site-related paperwork for research reasons.
Make a one-line diagram and an inspection checklist to support your case.
To continue the audit, use the electrical motor inspection check list.
After finishing the checklist, the technicians test and examine electrical motors.
Gather the results of the checks of the electric motors.
Check to see if there are any power quality or load flow issues.
If any issues are discovered, our professional guarantees that they will be resolved.
Verify the motor’s compliance with national efficiency criteria.
Produce a digital report that includes guidelines for safe work practices.

To guarantee that the motor runs properly in situations of maximum load and to boost productivity, CareLabs offers motor acceleration analysis (by mitigating the losses). Loss minimization improves motor dependability. All major Malaysian cities, including Kuala Lumpur, Seberang Perai, Petaling Jaya, and Johor Bahru, may make use of our motor start analysis services.
