SEMINARS & WORKSHOPS

Date: 04.11.2020 To 04.11.2020
Time: 10.00 To 12.00
The Department of EEE, New Horizon College of Engineering organised an Expert Lecture on “Role of Synchronous Machines in Industry” in association with Danfoss Industries Pvt Ltd, Chennai on 04th November 2020, will defined the concept of current research trends in synchronous machines in industry. Mr. V.K Arun Shankar, Testing Engineer, Danfoss Drives Segment – R&D (SW), Sriperumbudur served as resource person for an Expert Lecture and delivered a speech on a large collection of synchronous motors and generators is available with a wide range of industrial applications. He also mentioned that electric motors have become an integral part of industrial production and convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, enabling industrial machines to perform the tasks assigned to them. Not all electric motors perform a similar set of tasks, but some of them are specifically designed for a particular industry. Synchronous motors are normally used in applications in which a constant and precise speed is required. Typical applications of these low power motors are positioning machines. They are also used in robot actuators and such motors are available in a range from horseshoe size to industrial high performance size. Although they are used in industrial high performance sizes, these motors are able to perform two essential functions. One is as an efficient means of converting alternating current energy into mechanical energy and the other is as a power factor correction. The programme covered the following important aspects namely applications of synchronous machines in Danfoss. The eminent expert from Industry delivered the lecture and his talk has been very well received by the participants.
