How will governmental legislation of motors affect the markets at global and regional levels? How have new amendments to existing minimum energy performance standards in both the EU and North America influenced the sales of higher efficiency, low-voltage motors and VSDs?

As first presented at EASA's 2019 Convention, Preston Reine of IHS Markit returns to update EASA with the changes in the global low-voltage (LV) motor and variable-speed drive (VSD) markets, with a discussion of systems efficiency.

How do plant maintenance customers really view the EASA channel and what does the future hold for EASAns as the provider of equipment sales and service?

The latest data, which is in line with previous studies, looks promising for EASAns. But there are some findings which should not be overlooked if you want to be profitable moving forward.

View the presentation made at EASA's 2019 Convention in Las Vegas to discover what was learned from the latest industry research.

To factor in the amount of varnish used for costing purposes, keep a crane scale near the bake oven & dip tank. Use the crane scale to pick up the stator to be dipped and record dry and wet weight before placing the stator into the oven to cure.

To develop a costing formula, do not use a weight per HP. Instead, multiply HP times poles to obtain a relative number which can be ratioed when someone forgets to weigh a stator.

Example: A 350 hp, 12-pole stator used 80 pounds of resin, but a 400 hp, 4-pole only used 31 pounds.

350 x 12 = 4200
400 x 4 = 1600
4200 / 1600 = 2.625
2.625 x 34 = 81

It won’t always be this close, but it’s certainly better than x pounds per HP.
