EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Energy Saving For AC Induction Motor

c
c
1. Introduction:

Controlling the cost of energy is without doubt one of the greatest challenges facing industry today as
companies come under increasing pressure to remain competitive in the new global economy. Motors
are the world¶s largest consumer of electrical energy, accounting for 70% of all industrial electricity
used. Not surprisingly they are found literally everywhere and are utilized in the manufacture and
supply of almost every product we purchase. Incredibly however, moto rs are also the world¶s largest
abuser of energy. Motors are unable to intelligently match the power they consume to the job of work
they do.

2. Powerboss Integra ± Intelligent Motor Control:

Powerboss is unique product; it dynamically adjusts power to a m otor as its load changes.
Utilizing a powerful micro processor embedded with unique control software, Powerboss provides
a simple and effective control solution to most fixed speed applications. By constantly monitoring
the µefficiency¶ of the motor Powerb oss ensures that the input power to the motor is matched
exactly to the load as it changes. Even the slightest variations in demand will be sensed and
Powerboss will respond ± supplying full power to the motor if required in 1/100th of a second.
Motor speed and full torque potential are no t adversely affected in any way.

Powerboss has grown out of almost a decade of research and development in the field of
intelligent motor control , and is manufactured in the U .K by Somar International Ltd, a Queen
Award winning company. Accreditation to both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards ensure the
manufacturing and testing process is stringently controlled for quality assurance.

3. Key Benefits:
3.1. Energy Efficiency (Save your energy up to 40%)
Effective cost saving solutions -Reducing the amount of electricity bills up to 40%
Reduced kilowatt consumption both whilst the equipment is running, but also through the
implementation of Powerboss¶ special applications; i.e. Kick Start, Plug Breaking Timed,
Timed Cutoff, Sto red Energy, Signal Optimization, & Belt Breakage Protection
Lower Starting Currents due to the soft start/stop capability.
Operating Motor power factor improvement.
A guaranteed return on investment within an acceptable timescale (1 to 2 years ROI)

3.2. Production Efficiency

Delivers many production benefits in terms of reduced maintenance and downtime.
Reduced costs in relation to parts and labor (Reduction in motor contactor maintenance
through the elimination of spark degradation )
Reduced maintenance on the motor and machine drive system due to the soft start/stop
capability.
Increasing the life -span of motors - a reduction in heat, noise and vibration.
Improved motor protection by phase monitoring, safeguarding against phase loss.
Key operator benefi ts and more manageable preventative maintenance schedules
Reducing the amount of Carbon Dioxide produced

M. Technically Speaking: c
M.1. For smooth starting:
Powerboss is one of the finest soft -starters in the world with a wide range of adjustable features
that allow you to start even the most awkward load with ease. Fully adjustable ramp times from 0-
2MM seconds give you ultimate flexibility.
For high inertia loads current limit will provide you with a reduced current start. A kick start facility
will help you to get things moving loads with high static friction.
c
Using Powerboss as a softstarter will put you back in control by...
Significantly increasing the life of your contactors & drive train components
Preventing dips in supply when starting larger motors
Allowing you to attach more equipment to a single supply
Allowing you to switch y our motors on and off at any time because of reduced start current
Reducing the worrying threat of peak demand penalties when starting

M.2. For efficient running

Due to variable duty cycles, many of your motors probably run at less than M0% of their capacity
for much of their duty cycle. It is well known that motors are unintelligent and that in these off -load
parts of the duty cycle they consume much more electricity than they actually need. This excess
consumption is not only an unnecessary cost on your ener gy bill, but it also serves to damage
your equipment as the excess energy is released through the windings of the motor in the form of
heat, vibration and noise.

Powerboss will quietly work on your behalf to...
Ensure that your motors only consume the energy that they require
Switch your motors off automatically when they are not needed
Significantly reduce your energy bills
Protect the motors from excess heat and vibration
Reduce levels of unscheduled breakdowns
c
M.3. For controlled stopping
Pumping applica tions are particularly vulnerable to damage from hydraulic shock caused by fluid
surge. Powerboss reduces sudden changes in flow by controlling the acceleration torque of the
pump, extending the time to produce 100% flow, thus minimising the damaging effec ts of water
hammer.
Using a DOL starter to stop your pump (coast to stop) will cause hydraulic problems because the
system head will quickly overcome the motor inertia and then the pump will come to a rapid stop.
The fluid, which is in motion and has momen tum, must come to a complete stop as well. This
uncontrolled stop will cause pressure surges on your pipes and valves ± causing damage to the
system.

The soft stop feature in Powerboss will control the deceleration of your pump by accurately
controlling motor torque and allowing the head of water to slow the pump, preventing any sudden
changes in speed and minimising any surges or hammering in your system.

Through controlled deceleration, Powerboss Soft Stop...

Provides an effective solution to minimize water hammer
Reduces the probability damage to pipe systems
Provides safe, cost effective plug braking
