MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
TOPIC:
The Copper Rotor Motor Energy Savings, Die Casting and Performance
The Copper
Development Association has carried out research and development
over the past 10 years to utilize copper in the squirrel cage rotor of
induction motors. This effort has been an exercise in two disciplines:
metallurgical casting practices and electrical engineering. The project
has resulted in a growing market with over one million units in service
and growing. The copper rotor motor (CRM) is, in itself, a very
significant contribution to reducing power requirements on a global
basis. The energy efficiency advantages are discussed in terms of
potential global energy savings and the reduction of gaseous pollutants
to the atmosphere. From the copper industry perspective, the CRM
represents a sizeable new market for copper.
SPEAKER:
Dr. Dale T. Peters, Senior Advisor, Copper Development Association
In 1997, Dale Peters initiated activity at CDA on
the copper
rotor motor and directed the program until his retirement in 1999.
However, since 2000, he has again been closely involved with the
technical and marketing direction of the program and has been the
principal author of technical papers on this technology. He currently
manages this program for CDA.
Prior to joining CDA, Dale was Technical director of the
Metallurgy Program at the International
Copper Association in
