Electric Motors play an important role in Both in Industry and Household. Motor converts electrical energy to Mechanical energy. Motors are used in industry for operating cranes, Blowers, Machines, Machine tools, Compressors, conveyors, Hydraulic & Oil pumps, Robots, Loco engines and host of other equipment. Domestic goods like washing machines, Mixers, Water pumps, Fans, lifts etc. also need Motors.

Types of motors, Principle of working, Parts, Method of starting, speed control, Mounting Methods, Temperature rise, Insulation, Protection, Cooling methods, Duty cycles, Torque and speed characteristics, Efficiency and other aspects of motors are very important for all users in the industry. Proper understanding about all these topics, selecting suitable type and sizing of motor for the required application is important. Proper sizing of motor will have long and trouble-free life and will also be energy efficient.

Keeping this in view Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing 2 days workshop on "Selection and Sizing of Motors for Industrial Applications".

This programme will benefit Engineers and personnel involved in design, Production, Procurement, Maintenance functions of all Manufacturing industries. Engineers from Machine Tool, Automobile & Auto ancillaries, Consumer Durables, Aerospace, Industry Machinery, Defence & Railway units, General Engineering and other Capital goods manufacturing industries also can participate.

This programme will be conducted by Mr. P. Aruna Kumar,
