Somar Integra : Reducing Maintenance

Somar Integra can dramatically reduce the maintenance required on a motor by offering...

  • Reduced wear on motor contactors: lower voltage starting reduces corrosion of starting contactors, and reduces maintenance caused by starting.
  • Lower Drive Train Maintenance: Soft start reduces shock transfer to drive train, thus significantly reducing maintenance. The reduction of excess energy in the windings of the motor when it is running will reduce vibration on the application - this will in turn reduce maintenance requirements.
  • Less Frequent Motor Rewinds: Research shows that for every 10°c a motor is heated above its normal working temperature it can half its life as the excess heat perishes varnish on motor windings - Somar Integra significantly reduces heat and thus improves motor life.
