Linear-motor driven plunger pumps are most efficient at transforming mechanical energy to hydraulic work in low-producing and highly deviated wells. Linear-motor driven plunger pumps (LMDPP) are most ...

Motors are elemental in the operation of any efficient system. They provide the muscle that moves manufacturing, and yet they often get overlooked when compared with the technology that is prevalent ...

Energy efficiency is one of the most misunderstood aspects of fractional horsepower motors and gearmotors. It normally does not receive much attention; however, efficiency can be critically important ...

To understand the concept of high efficiency motors, you must first know how to calculate efficiency and the losses associated with the motor components themselves. This article reviews the basic ...

Last spring, in response to California's recent electricity shortage, Governor Gray Davis signed a bill into law that provides financial incentives for upgrades that improve the efficiency of motor ...

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s World Energy Outlook 2025, global energy demand grew by more than 2% in 2024 to over 650 exajoules (EJ): well above the long‑term average of 1.4% ...

Adjustable-frequency drives have been billed as an energy efficient way to drive three-phase ac induction motors. Nevertheless, designers should understand that motors fed by inverter power experience ...

Energy efficiency always carries a price, and the federal government’s latest initiative to wring more savings from efficient electric motors offers proof. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has ...

At COP28 in Dubai last year, the global community pledged to work together in order to collectively double the global average annual rate of energy efficiency improvements from around 2 percent to ...
