Electric Motors Voltage and Balance

When we plan to install an electric motor for our application,the one of  important parameter that we MUST verify is about VOLTAGE.Ensure the voltage is balance between phase to phase. Motor voltages should be kept as close to the nameplate value as possible, with a maximum deviation of 5 %. Normally motors are designed to operate [...]

Determining electric motor load and efficiency

As we known,the electric motor is the one of important equipment to drive the operation smoothly from beginning to end of product. Electricity cost normally around 60% came from electric motor running.It become more worth if installed motors are oversized,low efficiency,under design,poor maintenance or mismatched. So to know the actual motor performance, we need to determine [...]

Motor cooling

Electric motor generated the heat from inductance process.So the temperature is important factor to ensure the electric motor can operated smoothly without any problem. Heat can effected the efficiency of motor,maximum load capacity,duty cycle and winding lifespan.That why heat from motor operation must be controlled by motor cooling. How to control temperature for electric motor?The [...]

Terminal connection for induction motor

When we install a new electric motor for our application,we need to determine the voltage of power supply.Why it so important when we dealing with electric motor? Ok..electric motor manufacture design their product can suit with several value of power supply around the world.It made the motor can used at any countries without worried about [...]

motor nameplate information #1 – Electrical Input

The important information that we can see on motor nameplate is a electrical input.From this we can know what the voltage for motor,the suitable frequency,full load ampere,type of connection ( star or delta ),power factor and others. We can collected the data for induction motor from name plate.This information is very important to troubleshooting or [...]
