The stateenergy departmentis all set to introduceagricultural motorswith the globally acclaimed technology permanent magnet brushless direct current (PMBLDC).

According to the energy officials, PMBLDC is one such technology which will improvemotor efficiencyto 90% against the existing efficiency of 75% with induction motor technology. Even the life expectancy of the PMBLDC system is expected to improve to 15 to 20 years due to high grade materials as compared to the lifespan of conventional AC motors of around 10 years.

The APSEEDCO technical team in coordination with Andhra University conducted a webinar and discussed in detail the technicalities of the proposed technology and did a comprehensive analysis of the concept of PMBLDC.
