Rotating Machines, whether motors or generators, are among the few most crucial equipment required
while running the industry. Whereas motors are drivers of the machinery, generators play an equally
important role in the precarious power availability situation of India.
The generator industry in India is admirably catering to the alternative power requirement of large and small industries, commercial establishments and domestic sector. Domestic manufacturers in India are capable of manufacturing AC Generator right from 0.5kVA to 25,000kVA and above with specified voltage rating. State-of Art generators with electronic AVR units permanent magnet excitation, class H insulation, single bearing construction, brushless etc. matching the latest technology abroad, are also available.
Riding on the industrial development, the industry grew rapidly with requirement of general-purpose motors in all segment of the industry. Its growth boosted further by the requirement of special purpose motors for specific applications like cranes, cement mills, machine tools, flameproof motors for the mining and DC machines for the textile and other sectors and for pump sets by the agricultural sector. The overall growth during 2004-05 ia about 21% for HT & LT motors. However, FHP motors has posted a negative growth of almost 15% due to huge imports.
In today’s situation, the need to be economically competitive is of utmost importance. The saving in the form of electrical energy makes practical sense for all types of industries as well as agriculture. Energy efficient (EE) motors are the solution for it. EE Motors incorporate the latest development in design and material technology resulting into minimum losses both in core and windings. Though the initial cost of these motors may be slightly higher than that of standard motors, the initial extra cost is compensated against the saving in electricity bills due to their superior efficiency. Excellent pay back period will encourage industries to go for EE motors.
