Saving of Using Electrical Energy of Induction Motor Through Regulations of Minimum Operating Voltage

Abstract

Many devices use an induction-type electric motor as the prime mover, such as an electric drilling machine, cutting machine, cement mixer/sand, and various kinds of machinery contained in industrial textiles, automotive industry, and others. The use of machines is closely related to the application of electric motors that will essentially consume electricity vary depending upon the size of the motors that. And generally, this equipment always operates at a nominal price of electrical voltage or full voltage of 220 volts for example per phase or 380-volt three-phase. In this condition, when the motor is not fully loaded suppose half of its full load, it would be a waste of electrical energy consumption, especially if the motor is not given mechanical load on its axis. Therefore, this paper gives a little solution in saving electrical energy consumption of the motor. Two important things are studied in this paper regarding the working arrangements, namely the motor on the state of the start and on the state of the running.
