At Root Solutions, we provide cutting-edge Intelligent MCC (Motor Control Center) and VFD (Variable Frequency Drives) solutions designed to enhance the performance, energy efficiency, and reliability of your industrial operations. These solutions are crucial for optimizing motor-driven processes across a wide range of applications, from manufacturing to energy management.
Motors play a very important role in running of processes. A starter provides a means of safely starting and stopping of the motors and protection from short circuit and overload. In conventional starters, this protection is provided by means of a fuse and an overload relay respectively. Being mechanical devices, they have known limitations compared to the accuracy and reliability provided by electronic relays. Protection is provided to a motor primarily to prevent the loss of production, higher maintenance costs and unsafe conditions in a process, rather than saving the motor itself, which is inexpensive.
About 50% of motor tripping’s can be prevented by monitoring power and loading. Other failures can be prevented by having an effective asset management system. It is, therefore, necessary to have an “intelligent” protection system, which can monitor the power supply and loading, identify the potential risks and send warnings and alarms to the maintenance staff. The system should also be able to monitor and record motor parameters and operating parameters such as the running hours and the number of starts/ stops that can help in carrying out timely preventive maintenance. The system should also have capability to transmit the real time parameter data and receive control orders through network protocols widely used in industrial automation.
