Globally, all major motor manufacturers have switched over to TOP Terminal box as a standard practice. TOP Terminal Box enables easier access to Terminals compared to SIDE Terminal Box. Easier inspection process; Improved safety & maintenance process due to easier inspection access. Ergonomically better suited for maintenance personnel. TOP Terminal Box is best suitable for […]
Single phasing is a power supply-related fault, wherein the supply to one of the phases is cut-off. The motor will continue to run in 2 phases with vibrations at reduced speed. As the windings connected to 2 phases draw a very high current, this will damage the windings if the protection circuit does not work. […]
Over 40% of all electrical energy consumed in India is used by electric motors. Thus improving the efficiency of electric motors and the driven equipment can save energy, reduce operating costs and improve our nation’s productivity to be competitive in the world market. WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSIDER BUYING AN ENERGY-EFFICIENT MOTOR Any new installation. Expansions/ […]
More than 60% of the electric motors operating in India are in the IE1 category. With the developments in efficiency standards from IE1 to IE4, it is worthwhile to look at the cost-benefit analysis of all the existing motors operating in the plant. In Motors, we should consider the total lifetime cost rather than just the […]
