A New Generation of Motor Management

John Malinowski, Baldor

We have discussed industrial energy efficiency for many years, and it still provides an opportunity for huge electrical savings in most facilities. Electric motor driven systems represent close to 90% of electrical costs in some process industries. Efficiency upgrades represent the most cost effective method of energy conservation.
Additional help is available by partnering with various suppliers and agencies to network about successes that can be adopted in your business. The government is actually here to help you reach your goals and the assistance available is very good.

Field Installable Shaft Ground Ring Kits From Marathon

Beware Bearing Currents….Marathon Electric Announces “SGR”

Tired of premature bearing failures?....me too! It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Shaft Ground Ring or SGR, the latest innovative product addition to our extensive line of field installable kits. Given the fact that we are the leaders in Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) motors with the MAX motor family, it should be no surprise that we have raised the bar again with this new solution to a very real problem with VFDs. We have spent hundreds of hours testing and understanding the interaction between the VFD and the AC induction motor, we discovered that the problem exists with all VFDs and all the motors they control. While VFDs deliver impressive energy savings (up to 30% or more), they also introduce harmful common mode voltages (CMV) onto the shaft of those motors. The resulting currents will damage motor bearings, which result in costly downtime and premature motor failure. Any truly “green” process must achieve sustainability as well as energy efficiency. The SGR kits make this possible by dramatically extending the lives of motors controlled by VFDs.
