Choosing the right type of electric motor can improve energy savings

Not all low voltage motors are the same. With a wide range of different motor technologies on the market, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, choosing the most appropriate motor type for an application can pay strong dividends over the course of the motor’s lifetime. The four most widely used types of motor are: • Induction motors • Permanent magnet motors • Synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) • Electronically commutated motors (ECM) Each technology achieves…
