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

Increasing energy efficiency is the fastest, cleanest, and most cost-effective approach to get dependable electricity. Motors utilize around 46% of all electricity used and 69% of all energy used in the industrial sector. Energy utilization is one of the most significant issues that many organizations must address. We must start by fixing the insufficient architecture and wasteful power usage. Poor design and inefficient use are the primary causes of high electric costs and challenges in fulfilling the rising demand for energy. Although they are most effective at 75% of their rated load, which starts to decline as the motor ages, most motors operate between 50% and 100% of their rated load. Beyond 50% load, an electric motor’s efficiency begins to deteriorate naturally.

A motor’s performance is influenced by four factors:

Poor power quality directly affects how well a motor performs because transients, imbalances, sags, swells, and harmonics can cause a motor to be severely damaged or even stop functioning.
When a motor generates rotational force to drive a mechanical load at the rated speed of the spinning shaft, efficiency and overall performance are influenced. Given that it operates at the specified frequency and torque speed, the electric motor is dependable. Torque measurement can be used to evaluate an electric motor’s performance.
The following describes the specifics of how the electric motor operates and what to anticipate from it: Overworking a motor mechanically stresses components like the connection, bearings, and insulation. This decreases the motor’s efficiency and raises the possibility that it may malfunction or quit operating too soon.
In summary, a motor’s efficiency has a direct impact on the bottom line. Collecting baseline data is the initial step in predictive and preventative maintenance.

75% of industrial motor failures result in plant shutdowns lasting one to six days per year. 36% of motor failures occurred the very next day, and 90% occurred within a month after a warning. To avoid motor failure and operating problems by constantly evaluating, analysing, inspecting, and auditing your electric motors, you may avoid problems and increase their reliability and performance.

Details on Improving Motor Function:

Increase the efficiency of an induction motor by 68% over a 53-year period. (1960 to 2013). Electric induction motor efficiency will increase over the course of a year as losses are reduced. The energy consumption of an induction motor has decreased through time (data for a 45 kW, 4p type motor). Electric motor reliability and efficiency are tested by CareLabs in a variety of commercial structures and businesses. We investigate and identify the problem, allowing you to reduce losses and increase motor efficiency. As knowledgeable and seasoned specialists, we strive to provide our clients with high-quality services.

Methods for Measuring the Performance of Electric Motors:

Prior to the audit, we acquire any documentation pertaining to the site for review.
Create a one-line diagram and a check list to strengthen your position.
Use the electrical motor inspection check list to continue the audit.
Experts evaluate and inspect the electric motor after completing the checklist.
Obtain the results of the examination of the electric motor.
Check to see that the load flow and power quality are both operating as intended.
If issues do arise, our professional will ensure that they are resolved.
Verify that the performance of your motor satisfies national criteria.
Provide you with a digital report with safety advice.

CareLabs performs motor acceleration tests to ensure that the motor operates effectively under heavy loads and boosts production (by minimizing losses). Getting rid of losses also increases the dependability of motors. In all major cities, including Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmo, and Uppsala, we provide motor start analysis services.
