In this episode of the ABB Solutions Podcast, host Mike Murphy is joined by Abel Cavazos and Wayne Paschal from ABB’s High Power Division. The discussion focuses on understanding criticality levels in motor applications, how they impact equipment selection, and what facilities should consider to reduce procurement time and increase reliability. Tune in to hear insights on:
- Understanding Criticality: How CR1–CR4 ratings impact production risk, repair strategy, and motor specification.
- Purchasing Considerations: Why motor starting capability, torque requirements, and electrical system limitations drive design choices.
- Motor Starting Characteristics: How different applications—pumps, fans, conveyors, mills—affect rotor/stator design, starting current, and heat management.
- High-Inertia & Fully Loaded Starts: What engineering adjustments are required to ensure motors can safely start under demanding conditions.
- Bearings & Protection: The differences between anti-friction and sleeve bearings, and why lubrication, seals, and contamination control are essential for reliability.
