GPG Outbrief webinar on a smart motor that integrates an innovative electric motor design with a programmable variable-frequency drive (VFD) and a controller that provides real-time monitoring and cloud-based connectivity. Researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) found that the smart motor was on average 4% more efficient than a premium motor combined with a VFD drive, and cost about half as much. During the webinar, researchers and facility managers will discuss findings from the evaluation, share operational guidance and answer questions.
