This webinar recording explains the basics of low voltage AC drive types and control methods.

This webinar covers the results and the technical details of the recently completed follow-up to the 2003 EASA/AEMT Rewind Study.

While adding variable speed capability in commercial buildings is not a new idea, a new analysis confirms major energy and cost savings is available by pairing those products with a power drive system (PDS) – regardless of a pump’s load variability. A PDS combines an electric motor, adjustable speed controls and sensors that provide feedback to the equipment, allowing the equipment to slow down or speed up to meet current demand. This idea and the added flexibility a PDS can provide may be even more important as we move forward in uncertain times.

This webinar recording explains how each of these devices work, with repair tips and application information for each.

Anyone dealing with installed machinery, or even test running motors in the service center, will encounter instances where structural resonance is amplifying machine vibration. The machine may meet stringent specifications in one instance but exceed acceptable vibration levels in another. A good understanding of natural frequencies and the tests necessary to identify them will help solve these vexing situations.

Customers will often send in a motor with no nameplate and having little knowledge of the machine’s ratings. This webinar guides attendees through the process of evaluating the machine using core size, winding data and diagnostic testing to assign reasonable ratings.

This webinar recording discusses the equalized connections found in an increasing number of factory windings, explains why they are used, and addresses whether or not they are needed when converting a concentric winding to a lap winding. Alternatives, such as changing the number of circuits, or the special extra-long jumpers, are also compared.

The EASA Pump Reliability Seminar is a two-day program that describes in detail the factors related to pump reliability. This webinar introduces participants to those factors and how they come together to ensure a reliably operating pump.

In 2003, EASA and AEMT (Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades in the UK) issued a report that proved rewinding motors in accordance with prescribed good practices would maintain efficiency and reliability. But in recent years, claims abounded that premium efficient motors could not be rewound without degrading efficiency. This recording discusses the latest EASA/AEMT research that included independent, third-party testing.

Cleaning of electric motor parts is performed in every electrical apparatus service center. This begs the question of whether or not cleaning is being done productively and with minimal safety and environmental consequences.
