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

Making energy consumption more efficient is the cleanest, cheapest, and quickest approach to generating reliable electricity. Motors consume approximately 46% of all electricity consumed and 69% of all energy consumed in the industrial sector. One of the most serious issues that many companies face is the utilization of energy. The biggest issue is poor architecture and improper use of power. Bad design and incorrect use are the primary causes of high electric costs and challenges supplying the high demand for power. Most motors operate at 50% to 100% of their rated load, but the most efficient they can be is at 75% of their rated load, which begins to decline as the motor ages. The efficiency of an electric motor begins to decrease on its own at 50% load.

Four factors influence how well a motor works:

  • Poor power quality has a direct impact on how well a motor works: transients, imbalances, sags, swells, and harmonics can all cause substantial damage and, in extreme cases, lead the motor to cease running entirely.
  • When a motor provides rotational force to drive a mechanical load at the rated speed of the spinning shaft, torque is produced. The electric motor operates at the rated frequency and torque speed, ensuring its dependability. When you measure torque, you can see how well the electric motor is performing.
  • The following information explains how the electric motor works and what to anticipate from it: When a motor is mechanically overworked, it stresses components such as the connection, bearings, and insulation. This reduces the efficiency of the motor and may cause it to break down or cease performing sooner than expected.
  • In summary, a motor’s efficiency has a direct impact on the bottom line. Obtaining baseline data is the first step in predictive and preventative maintenance.

75% of industrial motor failures shut down factories for 1-6 days each year. 90% of motor failures occurred within a month after a warning, and 36% occurred within a day. To avoid motor failure and issues with its operation Regularly evaluating, analysing, inspecting, and auditing your electric motors will help you avoid issues and increase their efficiency and dependability. 

Motor Performance Statistics:

Improve the efficiency of an induction motor by 68% over the course of 53 years. (1960 to 2013). The quantity of energy used by an induction motor has decreased with time (data of 45 kW, 4p design motor). CareLabs perform efficiency and reliability tests for electric motors in many commercial buildings and industries. We check and determine what is incorrect, allowing you to reduce losses and enhance motor efficiency. Our objective as professional and experienced technicians is to provide excellent service to our clients. 

CareLabs’ services offer several advantages:

  • Is always held accountable for what we do.
  • Provide excellent service to your customers.
  • Respond to your chats as soon as possible.
  • Having a trained and dependable electrician improves our team.
  • Knowledge of the Standards.
  • Set a time that fits with your schedule.
  • Give you a digital report with all the facts to ensure your satisfaction.

Methods for Evaluating Electric Motor Efficiency:

  • We acquire all site-related documents for study before beginning the audit. To enhance your status, create a one-line diagram and an inspection list.
  • Continue with the audit by using the electrical motor inspection checklist.
  • After completing the checklist, the specialists test and inspect the electrical motor.
  • Obtain the electric motor inspection results.
  • Check for any issues with the flow of load or the quality of the electricity.
  • If there are any issues, our specialist will make certain that they are resolved.
  • Check to see whether your motor satisfies national criteria for performance.
  • Give you a digital report with recommendations for safe work.

CareLabs does motor acceleration studies to ensure that the motor performs properly under high-rated load circumstances and that productivity is increased (by mitigating the losses). Eliminating losses also improves the reliability of motors. We provide motor start analysis services in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, and Stavanger, among other significant cities.
