Facts About Electric Motors
Most electric motors are designed to run at 50% to 100% of rated load. Maximum efficiency is usually near 75% of rated load.
A motor’s efficiency tends to decrease dramatically below about 50% load.

![Page 15: Electric Motors.ppt](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/548635fbb4af9f690d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Planning the Audit• METHOD – 1
– When a motor is not coupled mechanically to any load, but available as spare/newly purchased. In this case, motor efficiency at full load can be estimated.
– Motor nameplate rating of full load speed and full load output are assumed to be correct.
– Measurements are done on the motor at no load conditions.
![Page 16: Electric Motors.ppt](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/548635fbb4af9f690d8b507b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Planning the Audit
• METHOD - 2
– When a motor is installed and coupled to driven equipment, say a pump, compressor etc.
– In addition to the measurements at no load, measurements are also required to be done at the actual operation of the motor on load.
– In this method, actual speed and power input is measured at load condition and output is estimated from power input and measured losses.

Pre-Audit Requirements
4. Any Variable Frequency drive, voltage controller or soft starter installed at the motor need to be disconnected from the line during measurements.
5. While conducting no load test, ensure that the motor is completely decoupled from the load.
6. If the motor has been in operation prior to no load test, stop the motor, decouple the load and keep the motor idle condition till the motor cools to ambient temperature.

If Variable Voltage Testing is not possible, assuming friction & windage losses according to IEC standards is also reasonably correct.
For Drip proof motors ≈ 0.8% to 1.0% of motor rated output
For TEFC motors, friction & windage losses ≈ 1 to 1.5% of motor rated ouput

Rotor copper loss, Pcu-rot = SL x Pirot

METHOD 2 - Operating Load Test
14. Total losses at actual load is sum of all the above losses
PT = Pk + Pcu-st-L + Ps + Pcu-rot

METHOD 2 - Operating Load Test
15. Efficiency is estimated from estimated output and measured input
η = PiL - PT

Slip Method
• The slip method for estimating motor load is recommended when only operating speed measurements are available. The synchronous speed of an induction motor depends on the frequency of the power supply and on the number of poles for which the motor is wound.

Slip Method
Example: Slip Load CalculationGiven: Synchronous speed (Ns) in RPM = 1800
Nameplate full load speed (Nr) = 1750
Measured speed in RPM (Nm) = 1770
Nameplate rated horsepower (hp) = 25
Determine the actual output horsepower
Load =Ns - Nm
x 100 = 1800 - 1770
x 100 = 60%Ns - Nr 1800 - 1750
Actual output horsepower would be 60% x 25 hp = 15 hp

Energy Saving Opportunities
• For every 1% increase in motor efficiency, there is about 5 kW power savings.
• Motors should be Properly size to the load for optimum efficiency. High efficiency motors offer of 4 - 5% higher efficiency than standard motors

Energy Saving Opportunities• Use energy-efficient motors where economical. • Use synchronous motors to improve power factor. • Check alignment. • Provide proper ventilation (For every 10 oC increase
in motor operating temperature over recommended peak, the motor life is estimated to be halved)
• Check for under-voltage and over-voltage conditions. • Balance the three-phase power supply. • (An imbalanced voltage can reduce 3 - 5% in motor
input power) • Demand efficiency restoration after motor rewinding. • (If rewinding is not done properly, the efficiency can
be reduced by 5 - 8%)
