The inefficiency of motors worsen when the workload of a motor is less than full. Saha Sprague Limited has an exclusive agreement to market and manufacture/assemble a leading product from the USA that offers energy saving solutions in this problem area. The product that allows this type of saving is typically called Motor Controllers., and they incorporate the use of electronics to manage the magnetic field of AC Induction motors. 

Be sure to check out the case studies that prove what we say!.

 

Performance Controller™ from Energy Savings Enhanced Motor Efficiency Soft-Start Performance Control (USA) manufactures and markets high-quality electronic motor controllers that manage the magnetic field of AC Induction Motors. The controller is a self-contained, solid-state device that mounts between the existing motor starter and the AC motor. It provides a true ramp-type soft-start and a unique energy saving feature that automatically and continuously updates the motor’s magnetic field. This update reduces energy consumption to only the level needed to perform the work. Depending on applications, the Performance Controller can save significant amount money by reducing wasted energy, and by increasing the life and performance of motors. Simply stated: most AC Induction Motors waste energy. In the United States alone, there are over a billion AC motors in operation which consume about 60% of the total electricity used, and about 70% of all electricity used in industrial applications. Moreover, this inefficiency is exacerbated when the workload of a motor is less than full. Statistics compiled by the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI) indicate that 60% of all motors are being operated at 60% or less of the work load for which they were designed. Under such conditions, and in certain applications, AC motors can waste as much as 70% of the electrical energy they consume. And energy costs are rising. Fortunately there's good news - the Performance Controller. A soft-starting, energy-saving motor controller that optimizes motor drive systems The Performance Controller is available in a single-phase or in three-phase. The single-phase unit is available in one size that accommodates up to 40 amps at 240 volts. It can be used on either 50Hz or 60Hz, as it automatically senses voltage and frequency. The three-phase controller is available from 1hp to 400hp up to 575 volts, 50 Hz or 60Hz. The Performance Controller is designed to be used in conjunction with a standard across-the-line starter. It should be viewed as a new generation of motor controllers that manage energy use according to workload. The Performance Controller completely controls the AC Induction Motor so it always functions at its optimum efficiency. This extends motor life and reduces stress and strain on the motor and the drive train both electrically and mechanically. It also soft-starts and protects the motor against over-voltage. All of these functions are performed electronically. State-of-the-art electronic circuits constantly sense the work load of the motor. When the actual work load of the motor is lower than the rated load, the sensing circuits reduce the energy being fed to the motor to the exact level the motor needs. This has the effect of reducing motor energy consumption. Solid-state circuits soft-start the motor so that start-up current is reduced as much as 50% and start-up torque is reduced proportionately. The soft-start function is adjustable to the operator's needs.   Performance Controller TM Applications: Brick Presses Conveyors Crushers & Compressors Drill Presses Escalators Granulators Grinders Hoggers Machine Tools Mixers Motor Generator Sets Oil Wells Polishers Routers Sanders Saws Slicers Stamping Presses Do you need more evidence? Please feel free to browse our case studies. For increased efficiency, productivity, and equipment life, choose the Performance Controller. Efficient soft-starts and power consumption proportional to work load saves energy and money. Performance Control offers a full line of controllers for single and three-phase AC Induction Motors. Also, custom-built models for larger capacities are available. Every model meets safety codes, minimizes downtime, and reduces electrical losses. The Performance Controller. An indispensable energy-saving tool for every application.
