The offering was small, but successful, and the company is poised for future growth. NASA Involvement Conservation of power resources in space is a vital concern. The motor controller is a solid-state unit providing a reduced voltage start, reduced energy consumption, and improved power factor. The unit monitors the phase lag of the current and voltage relationship in a motor that is operating at less than full mechanical load. The controller cuts back the voltage to precisely what the motor requires to maintain the rated speed and torque under its present load.
Power consumption is reduced and motor life is increased if a power factor controller is installed.
The results show up immediately as reduced power consumption readings at the electric meter and lower monthly utility bills. The power factor controller s significance is readily apparent when one considers the fact that nearly a billion induction motors are in use each day. The motor controller is used in industries and applications where motors operate under variable loads. These include elevators, escalators, machine tools, intake and exhaust fans, conveyors, pumps, and compressors.
