The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has published a new standard: IEEE Std. 3004.8-2016, “Recommended Practice for Motor Protection in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems.

Medium-voltage motors are critical to a facility’s power system. Not only are they expensive, but their failure can have crippling, long-lasting impacts on a plant’s operation. As such, properly ...

Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...

In the last several years, many digital servo drive producers have developed features to prolong the life of both the rotary and linear motors they are paired with. At one time, a simple thermal ...
