Increasing energy efficiency is the cleanest, cheapest, and quickest option to acquire reliable electricity. Motors consume around 46% of all electricity utilized and 69% of all energy used in the industrial sector. 

Energy consumption is one of the most significant issues that many companies must address. The first issue that must be addressed is the poor architecture and improper utilization of power. Bad design and improper use are the primary causes of high electric costs and challenges in satisfying the rising demand for energy. 

Most motors operate between 50% and 100% of their rated load, although their maximum efficiency is at 75% of their rated load, which begins to decrease as the motor ages. After 50% load, the efficiency of an electric motor begins to decrease on its own. 

Four factors determine how effectively a motor operates: 

  • Poor power quality has a direct impact on the performance of a motor: transients, imbalances, sags, swells, and harmonics can cause severe damage and, in extreme cases, cause the motor to cease functioning. 
  • When a motor provides rotational force to drive a mechanical load at the spinning shaft’s rated speed, efficiency, and overall performance are affected. The electric motor operates at the specified frequency and torque speed, ensuring its reliability. When measuring torque, it is possible to determine the efficiency of an electric motor. 
  • The facts on the operation of the electric motor 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 motor’s efficiency and might cause it to fail or cease functioning prematurely. 
  • The first step in predictive and preventative maintenance is collecting baseline data. 

75% of industrial motor failures result in 1-to-6-day annual plant shutdowns. 90% of motor failures occurred within a month after a warning, whereas 36% occurred within a day. To avoid motor failure and operational difficulties Regularly evaluating, assessing, inspecting, and auditing your electric motors will help you avoid problems and enhance their reliability and performance. 

Data on Improving Motor Efficiency:

During a 53-year period, increase the efficiency of an induction motor by 68%. (1960 to 2013). The energy efficiency of induction motors has increased throughout time (data of 45 kW, 4p design motor). Electrical motor efficiency and dependability are audited by Carelabs for a number of commercial facilities and businesses. We check and diagnose issues to help you reduce losses and improve motor efficiency. Our objective as qualified and experienced experts is to serve our clients with high-quality services. 

Carelabs’ services provide several advantages: 

  • is always accountable for our actions. 
  • Provide exceptional service to your consumers. 
  • Rapidly responds to your chats. 
  • Having a trained and dependable electrician strengthens our team. 
  • Understanding of Singapore Standards. 
  • Plan a time that fits with your schedule. 
  • Provide a digital report with all the facts to ensure your satisfaction. 

Methods for Assessing the Performance of Electric Motors:

  • Before beginning the audit, we collect all site-related papers for review. 
  • Create a one-line diagram and a checklist to enhance your standing. 
  • Use the checklist for electrical motor inspection to continue with the audit. 
  • After completing the checklist, specialists test and inspect the electric motor. 
  • Obtain the results of the electric motor examination. 
  • Ensure that there are no issues with the load flow or the power quality. 
  • If any problems emerge, our expert will see to it that they are rectified. 
  • Ensure that the performance of your motor satisfies national criteria. 
  • Provide you with a digital report and safety recommendations. 

Carelabs performs motor acceleration study to ensure that the motor functions effectively under high-load circumstances and boosts productivity (by mitigating the losses). Getting rid of losses also increases the dependability of motors. 

In all of the major cities, including London, Birmingham, Leeds, and Glasgow, we provide motor start analysis services. Contact Carelabs for more information and a quotation on auditing the efficiency of commercial electric motors.
