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.

Motor nameplate: What information it provides

Jim Bryan
EASA Technical Support Specialist (retired)

The nameplate of an electric motor reveals much valuable information about the capability and performance of the machine. NEMA MG1-2014 (National Electrical Manufacturers Association Motors and Generators 1) and IEC 60034-8 (International Electrotechnical Commission) provide information required to be included on the plate to conform to the standards. 

This varies by the type and size of the motor. For instance, rated field and armature voltages are required for direct current (DC) motors but obviously are not required for alternating current (AC) motors. A table is included that lists the basic requirements applicable to motors. Not all motors will comply with these requirements. These include motors built before the implementation of the standards or outside the jurisdiction of the standards agencies.  Some motors, such as synchronous and wound rotor motors, will have additional requirements. To cover all these is beyond the scope of this article.

Topics covered include:

  • Identification
  • Power
  • Maximum ambient
  • Speed
  • Phase and voltage
  • Code letter
  • Design letter
  • Efficiency and service factor
  • DC motors
  • Power factor
  • Altitude
