How innovation creates competitive advantage in business
If a company uses cutting-edge, unique technologies, it will stay several steps ahead of competitors and set market trends. Sovelmash is the only company in the world that uses its own patented Slavyanka technology to design electric motors. It is what makes Sovelmash products more energy-efficient, more powerful, and longer-lasting than those of competitors.
What makes the technology unique
In conventional electric motors, the windings are configured according to one of two classic schemes:
- “delta” delivers high starting torque but requires higher starting currents and is less energy efficient,
- “star” reduces starting currents and noise but falls short on power.
Slavyanka combines both schemes within a single design, which improves the magnetic field shape in the air gap and enhances the motor’s key performance characteristics.
What this means in practice:
• energy savings of up to 40%, and up to 70% as part of a variable-frequency drive,
• savings of up to 15% in electrical steel and copper,
• higher starting torque,
• reduced noise and vibration,
• an increase in the maintenance interval by up to 30%,
• the ability to create motors of the highest energy-efficiency classes IE3 and IE4 within the frame sizes of IE1 and IE2 motors, that is, more compact and more powerful.
The technology is an asset
The Slavyanka technology is not only patents but also serial products that the company develops, manufactures, and is already preparing to bring to market. It is an asset not only for Sovelmash but also for all co-owners of the business.
