Energy conservation using high-efficiency electric motors

Abstract

The current policy to keep and rationally use energy in Brazil is focused on allocating energy resources efficiently and preserving the environment. Thus, understanding the legislation and the problems tied in with inadequate consumption of energy promotes creating basic parameters and formation of industrial policies to keep energy efficiently. Moreover, it offers using better the available resources at a lower cost.

Given the current policy of Conservation and Rational Use of Energy in Brazil, which aims at the efficient allocation of energy resources and preserving the environment, understanding the Legislation and the problems related to inadequate consumption of energy promotes the creation of basic parameters as well as industrial policies of conservation and energy efficiency that will promote a better use of available resources at lower costs. We can say that of all the motors used in industry, the electric induction motor is the most used, as it combines the advantages of using electric power, low manufacturing costs, ease of transport, cleaning, simplicity in control and mechanical robustness with its simple construction, versatility to adapt to various types of loads and better performance. The purpose of this study is to highlight this theme and its contributions.
