Background

Electric Motors are an essential part of machinery playing an important role both in Industrial as well as domestic purposes. Motors are used in various industrial applications such as operating cranes, blowers, machines, machine tools, compressors, conveyors, hydraulic & oil pumps, robots, electric locomotives and host of other equipment. Consumer goods such as washing machines, mixers, water pumps, fans, lifts also need motors.

An understanding of the types of motors, principle of working, parts, method of starting, speed control, mounting methods, temperature rise, insulation, protection, cooling methods, duty cycles, torque and speed characteristics, efficiency and other aspects of motors are very important. Proper understanding about all these topics, selecting suitable type and sizing of motor for the required application is extremely important. Proper selection of a motor for a given application will provide a long and trouble-free operation besides being energy efficient.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 2 day online programme on Selection of Motors for Industrial applications.
