Device description

Industrial Machine

Integrated electrical load of an industrial machine with one or more motors and auxiliary systems.

An industrial machine may combine electric motors, drives, heaters, pumps, fans, control systems, and auxiliary consumers.

Preliminary electrical design considers machine type, number of main motors, and their total power.

Some machines also require external compressed air or other process utilities.

Actual electrical demand depends on the duty cycle, simultaneous operation of mechanisms, drive types, and starting methods.

Connection design considers rated and maximum power, starting currents, manufacturer requirements, protective devices, and interfaces to auxiliary systems.
