Currently the IE classification applies only to motors, but the new standard takes a broader approach to all drives (VSD) and drive-motor packages. Traditional IE classifications focused solely on motor efficiency under rated conditions. However, real industrial applications rarely operate continuously at nominal load and speed. Especially in pump and fan systems, partial load operation … Read more
Sustainability in the construction industry is the design, construction and operation of construction projects in accordance with the principle of sustainability in environmental, social and economic aspects. In other words, sustainable construction is an approach that aims to reduce environmental impact by using less energy, water and materials and creating less waste in the construction … Read more
One of the most influential factors in the development of portable solar energy systems has been the continuous improvements in the efficiency of solar panels. As panel efficiency increases, it becomes possible to obtain more electricity from smaller areas, making portable systems much more functional. Traditional silicon-based solar panels have become more effective over time … Read more
When we look at the data, the picture is quite clear.: The number of electric vehicle users in Türkiye has increased 5.5 times in the past four years. With this incredible rise, we became one of the top 10 countries selling the most electric vehicles worldwide and ranked 8th in world market share. The biggest … Read more
Wireless energy transfer, one of the most remarkable innovations of today’s technology (Wireless Power Transfer – WPT) breaks new ground in terms of mobility, aesthetics and ease of use without the need to connect devices to sockets. A world free of cables no longer belongs only to science fiction movies; WPT has begun to be … Read more
The orifice plate is one of the most common and low-cost methods for measuring fluid flow rate. It works with a small orifice plate inserted into a pipeline. As the fluid passes through this hole, a pressure difference occurs. The flow rate is calculated by measuring this pressure difference (∆P). In practice, the flow calculation … Read more
Mini grid is an independent and local energy network that provides electricity to a specific community, village or region. It is usually based on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, and is sometimes supported by energy storage systems to provide uninterrupted energy, especially in remote areas that are not connected to the national … Read more
The ACS380 machine drive comes in several variants that enable seamless integration into machines and connect perfectly to automation systems. With integrated functional safety features, the ACS380 drive can become part of the machine’s safety system via PROFIsafe via PROFINET, ensuring the safe stopping of the motor when necessary. The drive’s software can be easily … Read more
The efficiency of electric motors is defined as the ratio of the mechanical power the motor provides at the shaft end compared to the electrical energy it draws. In this context, within the framework of the IEC 60034-30 standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), motors are divided into the following four basic efficiency … Read more
Low voltage switchgear panels play a critical role in the safe and controlled distribution of electrical energy. Circuit breakers, contactors, relays and other electrical components contained in these panels must remain within certain temperature limits in order to operate reliably and continuously. However, the heat increase caused by electrical currents inside the panel can negatively … Read more
