Augusta has electric motor controls available. A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. A motor control is an insturment or a device that regulates the working of an electric motor. Instead of a single device, it can be a group of devices. Some of the functions of a motor that can be controlled include controls for starting and stopping the motor, the reverse or forward rotation of the motor parts, speed and/or torque regulation, and protection against faults and tripping up. Some of the control parts include motor starters, adjustable-speed drive (ASD) or variable-speed drive (VSD), Intelligent Motor Controls (IMCs), and an assemblage of intruments called a motor control center. These are manufactured by various brands. Other services that may be offered in Augusta include installation, service, repair, replacement, or upgradation of the motor systems. Cost-effective, quality products are preferred.
