 can ideally be identified as a group of devices that govern the performanceof an electric motor in a
predefined manner.
 also known as MOTOR CONTROLLERS.
Functions of Motor Controls

 Manual/Automatic Starting or Stopping Electric Motor Operation

 Forward or reversing rotation
 Select and regulate speed of rotation
 Protect motor against electrical overload and faults

Where are motors used?

 Motors are used in a wide range of industrial equipment, including pumps, fans, conveyors, robots,
elevators, mixers, grinders and centrifuges. This widespread use means that industrial motor
systems often account for around 70% of the electricity consumedby manufacturing in different
countries.

What are motor control applications?

 Motor control is used to alter the speed or torque of motors to meet the needs of the process or
machine being driven by the motor. Motor control applications can include robotcells, handling
equipment, HVAC systems, processing equipment in the food and beverage industry and stands for
web-based products such as metal and paper. Control ensures the motor runs at the right speed for
the process, saving energy, protecting materials and machines from damage and ensuring high
quality production.
