Soft Starter Upgrade for Expeller Machine

This case study describes how Amtech Electronics implemented an AXPERT OPTI-TORQUE soft starter on an expeller machine at Kisan Agro Products Ltd. to address issues with the previous slipring motor and resistance starter system. The new system uses a squirrel cage induction motor with the soft starter, providing more reliable electronic control with no maintenance required. It results in higher motor efficiency and energy savings of 2.72 kW per hour. The soft starter also provides integrated motor protection and metering. The total cost reduction was 64,000 rupees and the simple payback period was 6 months due to annual energy savings of 97,920 rupees.

Slipring motor with rotor resistance starter.
1.
Frequent problem in resistance starter.
2.
Low efficiency of motor, heavy energy loss.
3.
Frequent maintenance required in slipring of motor.
4.
Seperate motor protection relay required for protection.
5.
Individual panel meters required for volt, current, kW, PF, etc.
Squirrel cage induction motor with APERT OPTI-TORUE SOFT STARTER
in place of Slipring motor and resistance starter.

5.

Highly reliable electronic starter, no maintenance required.


Higher efficient squirrel cage induction motor, no power wastage.
Higher reliability of squirrel cage induction motor- No maintenance.
All electronic motor protection facility available in soft starter,
separate OLR not required.
Panel metering available in soft starter HMI like kW, Power factor,
KVA, current, Temperature, Voltage etc.

COST REDUCTION IN HARDWARE :

ENERGY CONSERVATION :

* Motor protection relay not required


* Power meter / Energy meter not required
* Resistance starter
* Motor- Squirrel cage induction
* motor instead of slipring motor
Total
Power consumption with slipring motor
Power consumption with induction motor

Hence payback period 6 months.
