End User Workshop For NEMA MotorMaster+ Software
NO CHARGE
Encourage ALL Team Members to Attend
September 13 or September 20, 2013
About the Workshop
Participants in this workshop will learn how to use National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Premium Motor Master+ software, an energy efficient motor selection and management tool, which includes a catalog of over 20,000 AC motors.
This tool features motor inventory management tools, maintenance log tracking, efficiency analysis, savings evaluation, energy accounting, and environmental reporting capabilities.
The workshop includes an enhanced user manual with new reporting methods and efficient predictive maintenance practices.
Who Will Benefit from Attending
- Engineers and managers at facilities that use motors
- Plant maintenance, operation, purchase and engineering staff
- Motor system consultants
- Anyone involved in electrical motors maintenance, purchases, repair, management or systems operations
What You Will Learn
- Identify inefficient and oversized facility motors and compute desired savings with more energy efficient models
- Apply an integrated motor management tool to optimize motor repair-versus-replace decisions
- Calculate the savings and simple payback period for premium-efficiency motors versus standard efficiency motors
- Improve maintenance systems and motor system reliability with predictive testing and using continuous energy improvement (CEI) strategies
Agenda
- Motors system management
- Electronic variable speed drives overview
- Power factor correction
- Motor system maintenance
- Motor repair
- Guidelines and methods to evaluate repairing versus replacing
- Introduction to using Motor Master+
- Overview of software capabilities
- Motor selection decisions

Save Energy – Save Money
Over 70% of the electrical energy used for manufacturing, and over 90% in process industriesis consumed by electric motor systems. Electric motor retrofits, breathable frequency drive applications, and other energy efficient strategies have been receiving encouraging attention. However, two areas are often overlooked for energy efficiency opportunities: maintenance and reliability.
According to the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI), the efficiencies of the mechanical equipment in general can be typically increased 10 to 15% through proper maintenance. In particular, predictive and preventive maintenance can help avoid motor failures, enable proactive maintenance or replacement, and improve the energy efficiency of motor systems in general.
Although energy costs alone do not always justify a motor maintenance program, a motor management program can justify itself almost immediately when energy saving considerations are combined with loss of productivity and associated reliability costs.
