How Can Efficiency and Reliability of Commercial Motors Be Evaluated?

Improving energy efficiency is the cleanest, most cost-effective, and fastest method for obtaining dependable electricity. In the industrial sector, motors account for 46% of total electricity consumption and 69% of total energy consumption.

Consumption of energy is one of the most important concerns facing several businesses. The first issue that must be addressed is the bad architecture and inappropriate power usage. Poor design and incorrect use are the key reasons for high energy costs and the inability to fulfil the increased demand for electricity. Most motors run between 50 and 100 percent of rated load, whereas the maximum efficiency is 75% of rated load and tends to diminish with age. After 50% load, an electric motor’s efficiency begins to drop automatically.

Four Factors Affecting Motor Performance:

Inadequate power quality has a direct association with motor performance: transients, imbalance, sags, swells, and harmonics can cause severe damage and in some cases malfunction.
When a motor creates rotational force to drive a mechanical load at the spinning shaft’s rated speed, the influence of torque on efficiency and overall performance is exhibited. The electric motor runs at torque speed at the specified frequency, assuring its dependability. The measurement of torque offers a clear indicator of the state of an electric motor.
The electric motor’s operating parameters and its anticipated performance: Overloading the motor mechanically produces stress on motor components such as the coupling, bearings, and insulation, which affects the motor’s efficiency and results in malfunction or premature failure.
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 cause 1-6 days of annual plant downtime. 90% of motor breakdowns happened within less than a month of the initial warning, and 36% occurred within a day. To prevent motor failure and operational difficulties Regular evaluations, analyses, inspections, and audits can aid in minimizing all electrical motor issues and enhancing motor dependability and performance.

Statistics on Improving Motor Performance:

Boost the efficiency of an induction motor by 68% over a period of 53 years (1960 to 2013). Reduce losses in electrical induction motors over a year to increase their efficiency. The energy efficiency of induction motors has increased throughout the years (data of 45 kW, 4p design motor). CareLabs analyses the efficiency and dependability of electrical motors for a number of commercial facilities and industries. We check and identify issues, so supporting you in decreasing losses and enhancing motor performance. Our objective as qualified and experienced experts is to provide our clients with superior services.
