Audit Motor Start Performance for Commercial Use in Mexico | Carelabs

Electric motors are the key element in many industrial processes, and can account for up to 70 % of the total energy consumed in an industrial plant. As per estimation, the EMDS- electric motor driven systems account for total of 43% to 46% of all global electricity consumption, giving rise to about 6040 Mt of CO 2 emissions worldwide.

By 2030, without effective and comprehensive energy‐efficiency policy control measures, energy consumption from electrical motors is expected to increase to 13360 TWh per year and CO 2 emissions to 8570 Mt per year.

Based on the critical nature of business processes, the outage cost associated with failure of electric motors can be thousands of dollars per hour. Most likely your operation’s motors account for a large part of your monthly electric bill. Very often electric motors are oversized or mismatched for the loads than they are intended to serve.

To compare the operation costs of an existing electrical motor with an appropriately sized energy efficient standard motor replacement, you have to assess it in terms of operating hours, efficiency improvement levels, and load capacity.

The main concerns of commercial and industrial consumers are the motor reliability, and their efficiency. The reliability and energy efficiency factors are directly related to the industrial operation downtime.

Therefore, motor acceleration study and its efficiency are very important for industrial users.

The efficient use of electricity is not just a best practice. The energy efficiency of motor to elates the difference between profitability and financial losses. This is because electric motors consume such a significant amount of energy in industrial process, so directly they have become primary target for cost savings and maintain profitability.

Additional to identify the savings through efficiency improve and reduce natural resources dependency is driving many industries to adopt industry standards such as ISO 50001.

Besides motor efficiency, there are other important operational factors taken into account that decides an efficiency of motor, such as motor reliability, protection, starting torque, and torque-speed capability in modern industries. Reliability assessment of EMDS is essential. Safety is a major concern in such applications, and it is directly relating to reliability.

Preliminary tests are performed – These include basic measures of motor performance, current and voltage levels, power, and resistance.

To resolve inefficiency issues, perform motor specific tests as follows:

A comprehensive motor efficiency and reliability audit developed from the facts, figures, observations, and results obtained from performing the above tests. Further, the identified inefficiency issue is identified, isolated and preventive measures are applied.
