Aceleron was shortlisted for Edie’s Circular Economy Innovation of the Year - the UK’s largest sustainability awards. The media outlet recognizes achievements of green businesses, such as efficiency programs, product innovations, social sustainability initiatives, and change-makers. On the nights of the awards, Aceleron was standing among global companies like Cisco Systems, P&G, HolyGrail 2.0, and Unilever. All other 9 “competitors” for the award were well-deserving...

The Telegraph article by Hassan Chowdhury features Aceleron’s roll-out of 4,000 batteries to Kenya, 'in a bid to power people’s home with cheap and clean energy'. Birmingham-based Aceleron, which won support from the Government’s start-up funding arm Innovate UK and the Faraday Battery Challenge, will take thousands of its alternative lithium-ion batteries to sub-Saharan Africa, where up to 573m people lack access to electricity. Modular batteries The modular batteries built...

After a motor is rewound, the windings must be further insulated with resin or varnish. This insulation protects the windings from contamination, shorting electrically, and also makes the windings more mechanically rigid. What are the different types of varnishing methods? There are four types of varnishing methods that they will describe below: Dip and Bake Epoxy Varnishing, Trickle Varnishing, Vacuum Pressure Impregnation, and Ultra-Sealed Winding. Dip and Bake Varnishing Technique Dip...

V-belts are an important part of a power transmission system. They allow for the transfer of energy from one source to another. While belts require little maintenance, they can greatly be impacted by improper belt tension. As discussed in the Common Belt Problems blog, improper belt tension is a pioneering cause of issues in the belt drive systems. There are two scenarios for improper belt tensioning: too tight and too loose. When a v-belt is too tight: If a belt is too tight in a system...

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are used to adjust the speed of motors. There are many different names for VFDs, including adjustable speed drive, adjustable frequency drive, AC drive, microdrive, and inverter drive. VFDs adjust the speed of motors by changing the frequency being transferred to the motor. For example, when the VFD is receiving power at 60 Hz, it can change the frequency to 20 Hz, resulting in a slower rotation of the motor. Different Parts of a Variable Frequency Drive The t...

The new ERP was launched on Saturday, April 7th and is a cloud-based platform. “When considering a new ERP system, we thought about how we can improve our processes so that our customers have a better experience with Dreisilker,” said Lynn Dreisilker, Marketing and Branch Operations Manager. Integrate the ERP with e-commerce platform Lynn Dreisilker adds, &l...

Motors can be damaged by excess heat caused by current flow when there are overload conditions. Some examples include a locked shaft, too many systems on a circuit, and the power supply single phasing on a three-phase circuit. Installing overload relays in the applications can protect the motors. Why are Overload Relays needed? When a motor starts, it typically requires six times the full-load current rating. After the motor ramps up to operating speed, the current drops off. Motors are design...

Motors and generators are often mounted in a location that makes them susceptible to contamination. Over time, these contaminants cause major problems that can lead to bearing or complete motor failure. In this article, they’re going to outline four common scenarios in which contamination impacts motors and generators. They’re also going to provide solutions to keep the bearings and motors clean and free from contamination. Breakdown of bearing lubrication or damage to the bearing...
