What Is Efficiency?
Ability to avoid wasting materials, energy, efforts, money and time in
producing a desired result

Motor Losses

Core loss Stator and rotor resistance loss

Constant and is Proportional to the square of the
independent of the motor stator and rotor current,
load current, thus it influenced largely by the loads of

Motor Losses

Fiction and wind loss Stray load loss

Resullt from the friction Leakage of magnetic flux and
within the shaft bearing depends on the rotor slot design,
and the resistance to air tends to increase with motor
being circulated through load
the motor by cooling fans

Operational Measures in Motor
Efficiency

Maintain voltage close to rating Minimize phase imbalance Minimize rewind losses
Maintaining the operational voltage Phase balance should be within 1% Rewinding can reduce motor
of motor at the designed voltage to avoid derating of the motor efficiency and reliability
(rating).

Optimize transmission efficiency Operate motor loaded in star

Motor power transmission mode
equipment such as belt, chains, When delta motor is connected in
gears should be properly star, voltage at windings is reduces,
maintained and installed the motor is de-rated electrically.
Applicable as low-cost alternative to
replace motor that loaded <50%
