Electric motors are omnipresent and their usage is so vastly seen in all well-functioned industrial equipments that we have almost taken it for granted. Electric and geared motor dealers have observed that motor-driven machines accounts for about seventy percent of the energy consumed y factories and businesses or at least by process industries. However, they also predict that this figure is likely to rise by twenty percent within the few years. The electric consumption intensive sectors like mining, water supply, irrigation, waste water management plants, oil and gas, etc. are continuously looking for energy efficient electric motors to reduce electricity bills. Improperly managed motors can result in loss of energy amounting billions of rupees as well as the industry’s operating expenses.
