Motor Energy Efficiency

Posted in Blog

Energy Efficiency in Electrical Motors   Motor energy efficiency is a measure of the effectiveness with which a motor can convert electrical energy into output mechanical energy on its shaft. The motor efficiency is defined as the ratio of motor power output to electrical power input at the terminals.  The difference between the input and output power is due to electrical and mechanical losses. Electrical motors of higher power rating have higher energy efficiency ratings, however this does not mean that one should use a higher rated motor for a given operating power.  On the other...
