You may have heard of the different parts making up your typical electric motor – including the squirrel-cage rotor bars. However, wrapping your mind around these rotor bars entail a different matter. First and foremost, the squirrel-cage rotor got its name from its structural similarity to

Buying a generator is never easy, overlook one single step and you will be dealing with an undesirable situation – too much stress on the generator, damaged equipment connected to it and an unnecessary waste of hard-earned money. Especially since it comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes 

Skills and services play a part but engineers should be able to do more than just that. They should have sufficient experience and knowledge about the industry, equipment types, maintenance services and solutions. Combining all these details together, it makes them a dependable person to rely on w

Whether it’s one of your rotating equipment or electric motor, the chances of partial discharge (PD) occurring are pretty likely. Over the years, a large percentage of disruptive breakdowns in high voltage (HV) machinery and medium voltage (MV) are mostly related to partial discharge. When it is n

Oil analysis is a type of test which comes under predictive maintenance (PdM) tools, used to enable quick and precise laboratory evaluations of the lubricant found in the machinery. But even with that understanding, knowing how this tool works is an entirely different matter. From detecting the we

There always comes a time where you need to make a decision on whether there is a need to upgrade your work equipment. After all, investing money in your completely functional equipment is just valuable money wasted as you could have been using that money for other financial priorities in the busi

Every equipment will run into their own kind of problems when there is a fault or error in it. If your generator is facing such an issue, then it may mean that generator rewinding is needed to get it back in good shape. For rotating machinery, the major issue will always be misaligned shafts or be

Leaving your electric motor or generator to deteriorate on their own over a long period of time will eventually lead to a failure in your equipment. And in due time, turning a blind eye to this issue will even cause your business to crumble slowly. While equipment failure is bound to happen over t

Load testing is often confused with ‘load testing’ for software – a testing technique used to observe a system’s behaviour and determine it’s performance level by measuring its speed or capacity. However, in engineering, load testing on generators are completely different from the software t

Experiencing a breakdown or fault in equipment is always unexpected, and unfortunate. Moreover, having faulty equipment will result in the disruption of operations in the workplace. Facing a problem with your generator or electric motor is a major concern for most businesses in particular. While t

Some favour DC motors in the industrial field for its low-cost, functions and many applications. However, knowing how they operate and completely understanding the equipment from start to bottom is another matter. Regardless of whether it is a DC motor or any other equipment, it is always good to

Workplace safety is often overlooked and as a result, many unfortunate accidents tend to happen. Within Singapore itself, there have been eight workplace fatalities in the first four months of 2018. While it may not seem like much, these incidents do happen, and as an employer, it is always crucia

While it is known to many that an Alternating Currents (AC) generator and Direct Currents (DC) generator are quite different from each other, people do not actually know the actual reasons that separate the two from each other. Industrial customers, plant owners and many other employers in the ele

You probably are aware of the fact that sooner or later, your motor will reach the end of its lifespan. While it may seem troubling, there are many options that you can go for as long as you spot the problems early on. Below, you will find several signs that will tell you when its time to take act

Its common knowledge that transformer oil consumption will only continue to grow exponentially and globally in the years to come. Particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, specifically, India and China, are where the major players of the transformer oil industry are as a result of the growth of ele

From time to time, you will need to inspect your work equipment and identify if there any issues preventing the equipment from operating at its best performance. Besides making sure of that fact, you also want to ensure that you detect any deterioration before it leads to a health and safety risk,

Any regular movement from your work equipment is definitely because of your electric motor which causes movement. Without one, having electricity is practically pointless as you will require an electric motor in order to convert all that mechanical energy into useful mechanical energy. Not to ment

Operating industrial machinery doesn’t just simply end at the installation stage. In fact, once you actually own and operate them, you will come to realise that there is far more work involved. No matter the type of machinery you own, you should understand that there is an extreme need to consiste

Many engineering companies that are spread all over Singapore provide a number of services from workshop repairs to products and spare-parts distribution and supplies. However, with such a number of companies that are available in Singapore, it makes one’s decision even tougher. Here are some fac

Many companies with heavy machinery will need to do maintenance every now and then to make sure that their equipment is in tip-top condition. Maintenance is very essential in order to keep equipment and systems running efficiently without any breakdowns involved. Depending on the type of maintenan
