#MotorTalkMonday – motor efficiency explained
We hear a lot about motor efficiency, but what exactly does that mean, and how is it calculated? To put it simply, motor efficiency is a measure of the effectiveness with which a motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. In other words, efficiency is equal to the output power divided by the input power.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to have a 100% efficient motor. It is common for motors to lose 5-20% of their energy through stator losses due to heating, rotor losses due to heating, core losses due to magnetizing current, friction, windage, and other stray losses.
ABB works tirelessly to reduce these losses, resulting in the most efficient motors possible. In fact, ABB recently set a world record by achieving 99.13% energy efficiency, the highest of any motor in the world! While this is not par for the course in most motors, it goes to show how serious ABB is about energy efficiency in their motors.
