1. What is motor control protection?
With electric motors, there's an electricity supply at one end, and an axle (metal rod) spinning at the other end, providing an adequate amount of power to drive a machine efficiently. Additionally, motors consume a large portion of electrical energy in industrial businesses. Therefore, in order to increase the performance and safety of your motors, it is important to have a fully planned, validated, and tested architectural approach towards motor protection and motor management.
Motor control protection is an enhanced system that prevents the electrical motor and motor starters from multiple damages like single-phasing, ground faults, high or low supply voltage, phase unbalance, jam conditions, excessive loading, and more. We at Schneider Electric offer a wide range of motor control and protection solutions for buildings, machines, and infrastructure that will help you optimize your processes and operations by decreasing downtimes and improving energy efficiency.
2. Why is smart motor control important?
The world is advancing towards technological and digital innovations that are conducive to the idea of energy preservation. For example, smart motor control enables smart machines to monitor energy and minimize unplanned downtime. It also offers secure communications and interoperability with facility systems and buildings to provide precise monitoring and control through intelligent devices. Additionally, smart motor control streamlines diagnostics, reduces programming time, enhances power system and process performance, and improves asset management by allowing you to access data whenever and wherever you need it.
We at Schneider Electric believe in evolving our technologies in a way that they fit your requirements. Our motor control and protection services offer sustainable and smart motor integration solutions such as TeSys GV for motor control protection, EcoStruxure Machine Advisor for asset health evaluation, Altivar variable speed drives to embrace the Industrial Internet of Things, TeSys Island for the load management system, and more. Our team of expert professionals has also curated a set of intelligent motor controls like EcoStruxure Motor Control Configurator, EcoStruxure Power Build Medium Voltage, EcoStruxure Motor Management Designs, etc.
