Improving energy efficiency is the quickest, healthiest, and most cost-effective way to generate reliable power. 69% of all energy consumption and 46% of all electricity consumption is due to industrial motors. Consumption of energy is one of the most significant challenges confronted by many organizations. Design flaws and inefficient energy consumption must be addressed first. High energy costs and the inability to meet rising energy demand are primarily attributable to ineffective design and improper utilization. Numerous motors operate between 50 and 100 percent of their rated load, but the maximum efficiency is only 75% of rated load, and it decreases with age. At 50% capacity, electric motor efficacy begins to decrease automatically.
Four Factors Affect Motor Performance:
- If present in the power supply, transients, imbalance, sags, surges, and harmonics can cause severe damage to a machine or even cause it to malfunction.
- The effect of torque on effectiveness and overall performance is observed when a motor generates rotational force to drive a mechanical load at the rated speed of the rotating shaft. The reliability of the electric motor is ensured by its operation at the specified frequency and torque speed. Torque measurement provides a precise indication of an electric motor’s condition.
- The anticipated performance and operating conditions of the electric motor: When the motor is overloaded, its internal components, including the coupling, bearings, and insulation, are mechanically stressed. This reduces the motor’s efficiency and increases the probability of malfunction or premature failure.
- The first step in predictive and preventive maintenance is collecting baseline data, which is a direct result of motor effectiveness.
75% of industrial motor failures result in annual facility downtime ranging from 1-6 days. 36% of motor failures occurred within a day and 90% occurred within a month after the early warning. Regular assessments, analyses, examinations, and audits can aid in reducing all electrical motor issues and enhancing their dependability and performance in order to prevent motor failure and operational issues.
Specifics on Enhancing Motor Performance:
Increase the effectiveness of an induction motor by 68% over the course of 53 years (1960-2013). Reduce annual losses to improve the efficacy of electrical induction motors. Over time, the energy efficacy of induction motors has increased (data from a 45 kW, 4p motor design). CareLabs evaluates the dependability and performance of electric motors utilized in a variety of commercial structures and industries. We identify and assess issues in order to help you reduce deficits and improve motor function. Our mission as knowledgeable and experienced professionals is to provide our clients with superior services.
