Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy by the interaction between the magnetic fields set up in the stator and rotor windings. It consists of four operating components: a stator (stationary windings), rotor (rotating windings), bearings, and frame (enclosure). The efficiency (η) of the motor is the ratio of the mechanical energy delivered at the rotating shaft to the electrical energy input at its terminals and it primarily depends upon their selection and use.
This course deals with the basic concept of the motor with its major problems from an energy efficiency perspective. It will support increasing the performance of motor with different energy saving tips and techniques.
What you will learn from this interactive course?
-
Why electric motors are so important in the manufacturing industry?
-
What makes motor loose performance and fail prematurely?
-
How to address inefficiencies in induction motors? (energy conservation measures)
The course is organized into three sessions, with a formative assessment after each session namely:
-
Session 1: introduction on electric motor
-
Session 2: Losses, problems, or inefficiencies in induction motors
-
Session 3: Energy conservation measures in induction motors
-
Participants will be able to go to the second session after completion of the first session and so on
