PMAC Motor, Efficiency: The PMAC Motor
In this blog post, we will discuss Permanent Magnet Motors referred to as PMAC motors. This type of electric motor is designed to be more efficient than its cousin the AC induction motor. They boast a perfect power factor at any speed range! PMAC motors have many other features that make it a great choice for a […]
Explosion-proof motors
Explosion-proof motors are designed to handle hazardous conditions and reduce the risk of fire or explosion. But not all explosion-proof electric motors can handle flammable matter in the same capacity, and just because a motor operates in a hazardous location doesn’t mean it is also explosion-proof. In this blog post, we will discuss what types […]
240 VS. 208 VOLTS- What’s The Difference?
There was a commercial client who converted their building’s electrical services from 240 volts 3-wire to 208Y/120 volts 4-wire. They checked the nameplates on their HVAC system’s motors and saw that they were rated for “208- 230” or “208/230” volts. So they assumed that they would have nothing to worry about. Soon after their power conversion […]
Shaft Grounding Devices
Shaft grounding devices Shaft grounding devices minimize shaft voltage and prevent current damage. Research has shown shaftvoltage can happen due to leakage, induction, or frictional buildup in other parts of anelectrical system. Shaft groundings stop the energy from causing harm to vulnerablemotor parts. Motors that are operated with variable frequency drive (VFD) are more susceptible […]
