Shakti Pumps (India) Limited has received a patent for inventing a “High Starting Torque Direct Line Operated Energy Efficient Motor (Shakti Slip Star Synchronous Run Motor ‐ S4RM)”.
The Patent Office, Government of India, has awarded Shakti Pumps this patent which is valid for 20 years, commencing from the date of filing.
Previously, the company was granted a comparable patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in August 2022. Thus far, the company has secured 4 Patents, while also having submitted 25 Patent applications, spanning both domestic and international jurisdictions.
The patent is a development in motor technology with a dual focus enhancing motor efficiency and reducing electric consumption while simultaneously increasing pump discharge rates.
The key features of this motor are as follows:-
Improved motor efficiency which substantially boost the efficiency of electric motors.
Innovative design improvements which include advanced design of motor components, resulting in a motor that converts a higher percentage of electrical energy into useful mechanical work.
As motor efficiency increases, it draws less electrical power to achieve the same mechanical output or task performance.
Increased pump discharge: In addition to enhancing motor efficiency and reducing electric consumption, this pump has the added capability of increasing discharge rates. This improvement is significant for industries relying on fluid transfer systems, such as water supply, wastewater treatment, agriculture, and manufacturing.
Power factor improvement: This motor also bring power factor close to unity, which reduces full load current of motor and also help to reduce transmission line losses. By improving the power factor and reducing line losses, the motor contributes to overall power transmission efficiency.
