Godrej & Boyce has announced that its business Godrej Lawkim Motors, has launched the electronic switch (E-Switch) technology for its range of general-purpose motors.
This will replace the erstwhile centrifugal switch technology to enable a seamless switch over of start windings in its single-phase motors thereby significantly improving the motor’s reliability.
With new advancements in technology, there has been a rising trend of developed countries switching to electronic switch motors in the industry to create environmentally friendly and minimal maintenance motors with a compact design.
Godrej Lawkim Motors is the first in India to introduce and shift to E-Switch technology that prevents sparking at the contact point and eliminates unwanted noise previously experienced with a centrifugal gear assembly, a release from Godrej & Boyce said.
No hazardous substances
The modern development of the E-Switch technology by Godrej Lawkim Motors promises a longer motor life – twice that of the centrifugal switch and uses no hazardous substances in its augmentation. The E-Switch technology eliminates moving parts for an electrical connection switch over. It is also easily replaceable, user friendly, and thereby, saves time and maintenance cost.
