Continuing Education Units (CEUs) Now Offered
Successful completion of this course qualifies delegates to receive a certificate of course completion with indicated CEUs. CEUs are granted by the Engineering Institute of Canada. One CEU is equivalent to 10 professional development hours of instruction.
The following course earns 1.4 CEUs.
These forums are designed to educate industrial, commercial and institutional motor users about the many savings to be gained from optimum motor protection, control and maintenance.
Motors consume almost 50 per cent of all electricity and in industry, that percentage increases to about 70 per cent. Optimum motor management affects plant production, energy savings, and motor replacement costs.
Delegates will have an excellent opportunity to ask specific questions and exchange ideas relating to their own unique situations. These forums are designed to be an interactive, problem-solving, learning environment for delegates of all disciplines.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Engineering and design personnel
Maintenance and technical services personnel
Process and operations personnel
Technical and process managers
Engineering and design personnel
Electrical consulting engineers
Electrical contractors
DAY 1:
8:30AM - 9:15AM
Energy Efficiency and Electric Motors
Isabelle Saint-Laurent, Office of Energy Efficiency, Natural Resources Canada
Canada's Energy Efficiency Regulations and the NEMA Premium(tm) Efficiency standards for electric motors will be described. Participants will be introduced to the motor section of Natural Resources Canada's EnerGuide for Industry website, and presented with information on purchasing energy-efficient motors as well as energy-saving tips for motor maintenance and operation. The second half of the session will consist in a tutorial on CanMOST (the Canadian Motor Selection Tool), a free software that allows users to quickly and easily find the most energy efficient motor for their application, determine the energy and cost savings associated with any motor purchase, repair or replace decision, and analyse motor lifecycle costs. A FREE copy of the CanMOST software tool is included in your forum registration.
9:15AM - 12:00PM
Fundamentals of Motor Thermal Model and its Applications in Motor Protection
Rene Midence, GE Multilin
Fundamentals of a motor thermal model including overload, locked rotor, too frequent or prolonged acceleration, duty cycling applications
Thermal Model Time Constants and other technical aspects causing the biasing of the thermal model
Proper selection of motor thermal protection parameters based on information provided by the motor manufacturer
Closer look on motor stall, acceleration and running thermal limit curves
Explanation of the concept of thermal capacity and how thermal capacity is evaluated in motor protection devices
Additional methods, such as voltage dependant which is employed to evaluate thermal capacity in nonstandard motor applications
Matching thermal time constants for motor cyclic loads cases
Real case example showing how to apply and fine tune the thermal model in high-inertia load application
Key topics that will ensure safe operation of the motor while allowing satisfactory motor design characteristics.
12:00PM -- LUNCH
1:30PM - 4:00PM
Infrared Thermography and Motor Maintenance
Greg Bork, Flir Canada
Predictive electric motor maintenance professionals utilize infrared thermal imaging cameras with integrated temperature measurement capabilities to allow them to make accurate assessments about the operating condition of electric motor equipment targets. Significant temperature rise above normal operating parameters, that will compromise component reliability, plant productivity and personnel safety, can be determined with confidence via thermal imaging cameras.
DAY 2:
9:00AM - 12:00PM
Evolution of Adjustable Speed Drives and VFD’s
Paul Wright, Siemens Canada
NEMA MG1 Part 30 motors on VFDs
NEMA MG1 Part 31 motors on VFDs
Specifing motors for VFD applications
What makes a motor suitable for VFD use
12:00PM -- LUNCH
1:00PM - 4:30PM
Evolution of Adjustable Speed Drives and VFD’s
Paul Wright, Siemens Canada
Evolution of Adjustable Speed Drives
Mechanical Theory - Horsepower & Torque
AC Motor Theory With NEMA Nameplate Definitions
Semiconductor Theory and Diode Rectifiers With Lab
Examination and Theory of the Major AC Drive Components
Including the Input Rectifier, Soft-Charge Resistor, Buss
Capacitors, and Output Transistors
AC Drive Applications With Discussion of Various Types of
Drives Including Vector Drives
Examination of AC Drive Construction
Recommended Drive Start-Up Procedures
Hands-On AC Drive Operation and Programming
4:30PM -- WRAP-UP
