How a webinar works

All EASA private webinars are live events in which the audio and video are streamed to your computer over the Internet. Prior to the program, you will receive a web link to join the meeting. 

The presentation portion of the webinar will last about 45 minutes, followed by about 15 minutes of questions and answers.

Requirements

  • Internet connection
  • Computer with audio input (microphone) and audio output (speakers) appropriate for your size group
  • TV or projector/screen

The Zoom webinar service EASA uses will ask to install a small plugin. Your computer must be configured to allow this in order to have full functionality. Please check with your IT department or company's security policy prior to scheduling a private webinar.

Private Webinars

EASA's private webinars are an inexpensive way to bring an EASA engineer into your service center, place of business or group meeting without incurring travel expenses or lost production time.

Bust Nine Common Motor Myths

Here are the facts about some of the things “they” say about motors and motor performance

The tongue-in-check saying “If it’s in black and white, it must be right” is a helpful reminder that not everything we read (or hear) is accurate or complete. It’s always best to check sources and verify facts before accepting consequential statements as true. A similar adage underscores the importance of this advice in the digital age: “If it’s on the Internet, it must be true.” With these things in mind, here’s a random collection of common misconceptions about three-phase squirrel-cage motors and the facts that deny them.

Myths discussed include:

  • Soft starting motors reduces utility demand charges.
  • Higher current means a motor is less efficient.
  • Power factor correction capacitors can reduce motor energy consumption.
  • A motor can be loaded up to its service factor.
  • A 230V motor can be used on a 208V electrical system.
  • Oversized motors, especially motors operating at less than 60% of rated load, are not efficient and should be replaced with appropriately-sized premium efficiency (IE3) motors.
  • It doesn't matter which of the three line-to-line voltages in a three-phase system you measure to see if a motor is supplied with the proper voltage.
  • Hand contact on a motor surface is a reliable way to judge operating temperature.
  • Winding burnout is the most common cause of motor failure.
