Motors & Pump Repairs in Sarasota, FL

A generator is supposed to be there for you when you have an emergency power outage. So, if you don't want your power backup to fail, it's a good idea to make sure that your generator is in tip top running condition. You can do this easily by routinely running it and checking it for the following signs that repairs might be needed:

VFDs provide many benefits in their primary functions of providing power and control for industrial motors of all sizes. For centrifugal fans and pumps operating at variable loads VFDs offer:

• Significant energy savings. VFDs characteristically exhibit energy losses of just 2-4%
  
• Smooth start and stop characteristics
  
• Flexible precise control

A vertical turbine pump is an extremely versatile type of centrifugal pump that has a wide range of applications. They can be configured to provide both high flow and high pressure as needed and offer advantages over other pump types for transferring liquid. Let's take a look at the vertical turbine pump, how it works, and where they can be found in use.

In simplest terms, harmonics can be defined as distortions to a voltage or current waveform. These distortions occur when non-linear, or non-sinusoidal, loads draw from a sinusoidal voltage source. In other words, harmonics can be generated whenever the smooth symmetrical sine wave of your AC power source is converted to squarish pulses by any of the plant components below, to name just a few of the most common harmonic sources.

Addressing motor, pump, and control problems before they happen is the key to extending motor and pump lifecycles and maintaining profitable uptime. As manufacturing makes the digital transformation to Industrial 4.0, remote condition monitoring provides the critical asset protection solutions which can keep a plant competitive.

Plants must now function in an age where maintenance and engineering staffs are leaner and production demands require maximum uptime to generate revenue in today's highly competitive global markets. And motor and pump lifecycle economics is just one driver of the move to remote condition monitoring.

Standby Generators: When Power Failure is Not an Option

In Florida, the power outage headlines are all too common. Thankfully this 2018 hurricane season is predicted to be milder than last year's when Hurricane Irma left her mark on our Sunshine State. Irma set records with power outages affecting 3.9 million of Florida Power and Light's total 4.9 million customers. Irma was a worst-case scenario, but experienced Floridians know that it doesn't take a category 4 hurricane to leave them in the dark.
