The Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA) will hold its Annual Convention and Exposition from June 24-27 in National Harbor, Maryland. EASA is an international trade organization of more than 1,700 electromechanical sales and service firms in nearly 70 countries. EASA supports companies involved in the service and sale of electric motors, pumps, drives, controls, gearboxes and other rotating machinery. Highlights include synchronous motors, machine reliability, leadership, sustainability, EASA's 90th birthday bash, motor maintenance, pump repair, supply chain issues and more.
Read MoreOne of the most important factors to consider is why a motor failed. This EASA seminar explores the cause of motor failures from the most common to the unusual. A methodology for identifying the most probable cause of failure is presented. An extensive resource manual includes hundreds of photos of a wide range of failures, with the likely causes listed, and a clear methodology for confirming the probable cause of each failure.
Read MoreThis EASA program covers horizontal and vertical squirrel-cage induction motors in the 300 to 5,000 horsepower range, low- and medium-voltage, including how they work, specific information on enclosures, construction of components and applications. Many of the principles included apply to all AC motors, especially those with accessories that were associated with larger machines in the past (such as encoders, RTDs, thermostats, space heaters, vibration sensors, etc.).
Read MoreThe seminar will cover DC machine theory and operation, as well as repair tips. Topics will include testing and winding of armatures, fields, interpoles and compensating windings, machine work, balancing, assembly and final testing. The theory portion is structured so that it can be grasped by entry-level personnel, while the overall material is in-depth enough that those with 30 years of experience or more will benefit.
