ANSYS ADVANTAGE Volume VIII | Issue 1 | 2014 11 ROBUST ELECTRIC MACHINE DESIGN lectric motors are the single biggest consumer of electric- WEG is the largest industrial electric motor manufacturer Eity, accounting for about two-thirds of industrial power in the Americas and one of the largest manufacturers of indus- consumption and about 45 percent of global power con- trial electric motors in the world, producing more than 10 million sumption, according to an analysis by the International Energy units annually. WEG engineers used the ANSYS comprehensive Agency. The World Energy Outlook 2012 states that the devel- design solution for electric motors to leverage electromagnetic, oped world is planning to increase its energy efficiency by mechanical and thermal simulation. Design optimization helped 1.8 percent annually over the next 25 years. Much of this the engineering team to deliver optimal energy efficiency, low improvement must come from advancements in electric motor operating noise and long bearing life on the new W50 electric line design. Companies that develop these devices must ensure that motors have low operating noise and long life. Engineers have worked to balance these demands to improve and optimize the ELECTRIC MACHINE DESIGN METHODO
