Evaluation of Damages Due to Failures of Electric Motors in Technological Equipment of Enterprises

Abstract

The subject of the study is electric equipment system of milk farms at agricultural enterprises. The purpose of this work was the enhancement of operational reliability of electric equipment designed for technological process at milk farms based on the use of results of calculations made for the value of expected economic damage caused by failures of electric motors, and owing to the advancement of technical maintenance system. Effectiveness of the work is defined by evaluation of damage and, therefore, reducing the idle time period for technological equipment involved in various processes, at milk farms, as well as increasing lifetime of electric equipment, at agricultural enterprises. Application of the results of these studies may increase the operational reliability of electric equipment and ensure economical savings owing to the reduction of idle time of technological equipment, at milk farms, making it possible to reduce assets for operation and maintenance purposes by 10% to 15% and to decrease electric power consumption as a result of effective use of electrified machinery.
