When you look at the nameplate of an electric motor, you see that the power is sometimes written in kilowatts (kW) and sometimes in horsepower (HP). The speed is given as revolutio... More Details

Induction motors are divided, by rotor construction, into two broad families: the squirrel cage (short-circuited bar) rotor and the wound rotor (slip-ring) motor. From the outside ... More Details

Aggregate and quarry plants are among the most demanding operating environments for electric motors. In these plants, where tonnes of rock are crushed, screens vibrate constantly a... More Details

Induction motors are the most widely used sources of motion in industry, and at the heart of how these motors work lies the concept of slip. An induction motor can only produce tor... More Details

When selecting an electric motor, the first value most people look at is the power rating in kilowatts. Yet the concept that truly determines how a motor will behave in real life, ... More Details

There are two basic ways to turn a machine or a pump: either set up a mechanical drive with a diesel generator or engine, or use an electric motor fed from the grid. This choice di... More Details

The foundation of running an electric motor safely and efficiently lies in a properly built motor panel. At the heart of this panel is the contactor, which switches the motor in an... More Details

In industrial facilities, warehouses, and large commercial buildings, the quality of the indoor air directly affects production efficiency and worker health. One of the most effect... More Details

The heart of an electric motor is the windings placed inside its stator. These windings directly determine the motor's power, efficiency, and service life, and they are formed thro... More Details

Ceramic production involves many stages, including raw material preparation, forming, drying, firing, and glazing. Electric motors are at work in nearly all of these stages. A wide... More Details

Overhead cranes are industrial lifting systems that move heavy loads both horizontally and vertically. In these cranes, travel motors drive the movement of the bridge and the troll... More Details

Cold storage rooms, supermarket refrigeration, industrial cooling systems and air conditioning all run on refrigeration compressors. At the heart of these compressors is the electr... More Details

On the nameplate of an electric motor there is a value that is often overlooked but important: the service factor. Generally shown as a number such as 1.0 or 1.15, this value expre... More Details

Elevators are the safest and most comfortable way to move people and goods within buildings. An elevator's safe, quiet and smooth operation depends on the electric motor that moves... More Details

An electric motor's efficiency class is written on its nameplate; but how that figure is determined, and whether it is genuinely accurate, is an important matter. A motor's efficie... More Details

Efficiency in electric motors is a continuously advancing field. After the efficiency classes that climbed from IE1 to IE4, the highest step of all now arrives: the IE5 ultra-premi... More Details

An electric motor's performance depends not only on its own characteristics but also on the conditions of the environment in which it operates. Ambient temperature and altitude (he... More Details

In many industrial applications, an electric motor does not work on its own but together with a gearbox. A gearbox is a gear system that lowers the motor's speed to increase torque... More Details

A high-efficiency electric motor costs more than a standard motor at the moment of purchase. This price difference makes many businesses hesitate. Yet the energy savings a high-eff... More Details

One of the concepts most frequently encountered when selecting an electric motor is the pole count. Two motors of the same power, when they have different pole counts, turn at comp... More Details
