Motor Analysis
Improve Motor Performance and Extended Motor Life
Enerdoor motor analysis is ideal for motors up to 690 Vac and specializes in analyzing the wave form, voltage, current form, and the shaft voltage directly on the motor. Motor analysis allows us to understand the root cause of premature motor failure and provide economical and speedy solutions to ensure motor performance and prevent production downtime.
Did you know that electric motors consume 19% of the total energy produced in the United State? Or that more than 70% of all the electrical energy used during manufacturing is consumed by motor systems? In the processing industry this figure increases to 90%. Motors controlled by variable frequency drives (VFDs) providing energy savings but disadvantages in terms of overvoltage spikes, heat, and power loss on the motor.
The square wave and overvoltage spike, or dV/dt, creates additional heat stress on the motor causing winding, insulation, and bearing damage for motors. Eliminating these spikes on the motor cable reduces the heat stress surrounding the motor and results in increased motor performance and extended motor life.
Unique Solution that Eliminates RF Noise
In the past shielded cables have been used to contain electrical noise. However, by installing Enerdoor's new technology, the sine wave filter, there is no longer a need for shielded cables between the VFD and motor. The sine wave filter is a superior solution as it eliminates RF noise while a shielded cable is only able to contain it. The Enerdoor sine wave series is from 0 - 880A with high frequency solutions available.
