Use Information to Protect Your Motors

In an age where there is efficient use of energy that has become a key for all manufacturers, electric motors stand front and center. That’s why it’s important not to overlook motor protection and its by-product, safety.

Any productivity gains manufacturers might earn from electric motors can dissipate as quickly as a short circuit can cause process disruption and injury. This eBook explores the value of such technologies as ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs), overload protection, motor disconnection switches, and motor starters. It also discusses how those systems are connected in the world of Industry 4.0. Sensors can provide operators with a look into the future of a motor’s health and performance, which drives safety—the one cost center in manufacturing that can be turned into a profit center.
