Learn what motor circuit analysis tests for and identifies.
Motors
Motors are the most common source of power used by pumping systems. This technology is heavily regulated. Pumps by themselves are not variable speed, an option that many systems need to operate with peaks and ebbs during the run cycle, such as power generation. The addition of a variable frequency drive (VFD) gives it that capability.
With today’s advancements in technology, users benefit from smaller components.
Nick Grewal of ePropelled joins the Pumps & Systems podcast to talk electric motors.
Power sensors can positively affect efficiency and contribute to energy savings.
Actionable steps you can take to raise your pumping standards while lowering costs.
Review a comparison of submersible and immersible motor types.
Consider several factors when choosing and implementing sensors for your monitoring program.
Operators can improve accuracy and minimize costs.
Consider cabling, size and windings in order to make the right choice.
In some instances, operating a motor beyond the base pole speed is possible and offers system benefits if the design is carefully examined
