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 starting capabilities and considerations

It should not be assumed that because a motor can drive a running load, it also has the capability to accelerate the load up to rated speed. During starting, a mo­tor must deliver the energy required to accelerate the load. To do this, the motor torque must exceed that needed to ac­celerate the load. The motor torque value in excess of the load torque requirement is termed the “torque available for ac­celeration,” as shown in Figure 1. 

Though this explanation appears to be relatively simple and straightfor­ward, there are some complex condi­tions. Namely, that the motor torque during starting is not constant, and unless the load is a pure inertia load (very rare), it does not have a constant speed-torque relationship. Therefore, the torque available for acceleration is the difference between the speed-torque curves for the motor and the load.
