Replacements
Contact your neighborhood ABB agent when a motor or
inverter has to be replaced.
A new ABB product is a wonderful asset to replace outdated
machinery with because of its higher efficiency and performance, which can
result in a very quick payback period. We can typically optimize it as a
substitute for your present devices, regardless of whether you choose a new
motor or generator from our extensive selection of conventional items or opt
for a personalized device.
The electrical designs can typically be updated such that
the replacement is completely compatible with the original. We are able to
readily provide replacements for third-party items by utilizing our expertise
and knowledge.
This lowers risks, necessary site work, and downtime for the
plant manager. You might be able to maintain your current computer as a reserve
if you choose a custom-made, completely interchangeable replacement.
We would be happy to assist you in assessing the potential
for ABB's replacement product to boost manufacture, validity, and accessibility
while lowering energy and maintenance costs.

Selecting Repair or Replacement
Your car's motor has malfunctioned. You should first think
about if the device still has life in it before looking for a catalogue with
the intention of replacing the current motor with a brand-new replacement.
Motors can be relatively inexpensive compared to other
machinery elements, but changing a piece of equipment every time it breaks down
or malfunctions can rapidly get costly and isn't always the best course of
action.
Industrial motors can be repaired by a variety of companies,
some of which may even concentrate in restoring this equipment rapidly. obviously
this is the best case scenario to minimise downtime costs by restoring
operations as soon as feasible.
Having said that, you might want to take advantage of this
chance to replace your motor with a newer, more sophisticated model. There is a
pile of antique machinery in many production facilities that has been there for
years or even centuries. Manufacturers may occasionally have trouble merging
new technology with this older machinery. For instance, new parts may not
function properly due to interoperability issues or because the location
missing other cutting-edge equipment.
The clever advice to upgrade to a new motor may be useless
in these circumstances. In addition, this may boost the cost of installing new
equipment and lengthen the unexpected downtime brought on by the motor failure.
If you're concerned about downtime, we advise choosing a replacement that is
precisely the same for your current model or trying to fix the one you
presently have.
Numerous pieces of antique machinery that have been in use
for years or even decades can be found in many production facilities. Is this
compatible with a new motor?
If Replacing, Make a Wise Decision
Time wasted is money. You may therefore be excused for
acting quickly and without sufficient knowledge to resume manufacturing.
However, over time, these choices can result in recurring costs.
Consider energy conservation as an illustration. Although a
motor may not be the most expensive industrial component, over the course of
its lifespan, it can consume thousands of dollars' worth of energy. In fact,
the operation of industrial engines is responsible for 21% of all electrical
use in the Western world.
Instead of fixing your current model if you want to get a
new motor, think about getting one that could save you money on energy. Even if
this is more expensive initially, the alternative can include settling for
sky-high electricity costs down the road.
Of course, adding an adjustable speed drive (VSD) is another
excellent choice for reducing how much energy these machines use. However, it
makes sense to invest money on a somewhat greener choice for long-term energy
savings if you are already in the market for a new motor as a result of an
unplanned failure.
It is preferable to repair the one you already have or
replace it with an identical match for your current model rather than purchasing
a brand-new motor.
Should you purchase used goods?
Don't worry if the thought of replacing a motor with a new
model makes you tighten your purse strings. There are other options than
splashing out on brand-new equipment. In actuality, a number of providers may
be able to offer the product at a significantly lower cost in a used or
refurbished form.
Reconditioned parts have a reputation for being risky
investments since some firms worry the machinery may be broken or in poor
shape. Reconditioned machinery will always be maintained maintained, and
improved to optimal functioning condition before being put back on the market,
though, if you choose a reliable industrial parts provider.
For instance, a refurbished motor would undergo
comprehensive testing to guarantee that it is in perfect working order and free
of flaws, and the provider must be able to vouch for the completion of such
research.
Manufacturers may occasionally have trouble integrating new
technology with this older machinery. A supplier of old parts is necessary in
these circumstances.
The provider should also offer a warranty on the
dependability of the goods. For instance, EU Automation provides a 12-month
warranty on its reconditioned components.
The benefit of getting a refurbished model is that it may be
significantly cheaper than buying brand-new machinery. Additionally, having the
option to find an exact motor repair might help you avoid those annoying
compatibility problems.
There are many factors to take into account when buying an
industrial motor, but you should first think about your alternatives, including
repair, replacement, and reconditioning.

Power range of unique industrial motor reproductions
Low-voltage, medium-voltage, high-voltage, and direct
current industrial motor bespoke reproductions are among the choices provided
by MENZEL. Almost any electric motor can be individually replaced with a
replica. The scenario and your actual needs are carefully examined which
enables us to choose the best and most affordable option for you.
From 75 kW to 25000 kW, three-phase simultaneous squirrel
cage motors
From 75 kW to 15000 kW, three-phase asynchronous slip ring
motors
motors with direct current from 20 kW to 2000 kW
Different mountings
all levels of security and cooling techniques
to operate the grid and the converter
The benefits of replica electric motors
The electrical control and monitoring of the plant are not
affected at all (or just very little).
By using new electric motors with different characteristics,
unforeseen hazards are avoided.
For the purpose of enhancing the efficiency of industrial
plants, we can offer loss-optimized copies.
Your production facilities or foundation don't need to be
modified at all (or perhaps very minimally).
As a result, setup times are minimized.
They are perfect for backup equipment since, in the event of
a failure, a simple replacement may be made, especially if the plant uses numerous
similar electric motors that can all be replaced by a customized replica.
