Motors are elemental in the operation of any efficient system. They provide the muscle that moves manufacturing, and yet they often get overlooked when compared with the technology that is prevalent ...

To understand the concept of high efficiency motors, you must first know how to calculate efficiency and the losses associated with the motor components themselves. This article reviews the basic ...

Last spring, in response to California's recent electricity shortage, Governor Gray Davis signed a bill into law that provides financial incentives for upgrades that improve the efficiency of motor ...

Linear-motor driven plunger pumps are most efficient at transforming mechanical energy to hydraulic work in low-producing and highly deviated wells. Linear-motor driven plunger pumps (LMDPP) are most ...

Industry 4.0 is seen as the new era of manufacturing, combining technology, robotics, artificial intelligence and automation to create an efficient and effective manufacturing process. Industrial use ...

Adjustable-frequency drives have been billed as an energy efficient way to drive three-phase ac induction motors. Nevertheless, designers should understand that motors fed by inverter power experience ...

Energy efficiency always carries a price, and the federal government’s latest initiative to wring more savings from efficient electric motors offers proof. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has ...

Energy makes up 80 percent of the cost of owning and operating a motor over its lifespan. That’s why motor makers have spent decades trying to build ever more energy-efficient designs. But with ...
